It searches various fields: titles, authors, subject headings, contents notes, corporate names, etc.</p> <h4>Multiple Words</h4> <p>Use more words to narrow your search. No need to include AND between words. For example,</p> <ul> <li><tt>education scotland primary</tt></li> </ul> <h4>Phrase Searches</h4> <p>Search for an exact phrase by enclosing it with double quotes. For example,</p> <ul> <li><tt>"highlands and islands"</tt></li> <li><tt>"roman empire"</tt></li> </ul> <h4>Truncation and Wildcards</h4> <p>Words may be right-hand truncated using an asterisk. Use a single asterisk to truncate from 1-5 characters. Use a double asterisk for open-ended truncation. You may also use a question mark to replace a single character anywhere within a word. For example,</p> <ul> <li><tt>education*</tt></li> <li><tt>environment* polic*</tt></li> <li><tt>fyodor dost**</tt></li> <li><tt>wom?n</tt></li> </ul> <h4>Boolean Search Operators</h4> <p>Use <tt>OR</tt> to broaden your search. Use <tt>AND NOT</tt> to exclude words. Use parentheses to group words together when using these operators. Although the <tt>AND</tt> operator is not needed you may use it to clarify your search strategy. For example,</p> <ul> <li><tt>painting (dutch OR flemish)</tt></li> <li><tt>(indian OR pacific) and (ocean life AND NOT mammals)</tt></li> </ul> <h4>Proximity Operators</h4> <p>The NEAR operator is used to retrieve records that contain the specified words or phrases within ten words of each other in the same indexed field. For example,</p> <ul> <li><tt>fife near council</tt></li> </ul> <p>The WITHIN operator is similar to the NEAR operator, but allows the user to specify the maximum number of words that may appear between the specified words. For example,</p> <ul> <li><tt>fractal within 3 geometry</tt></li> </ul> <h4>Field limits</h4> <p>Hint: it is easier to use field limits in an <a href="/search/X" title="Advanced Keyword Search">Advanced Keyword Search</a>. A field limit causes the system to search only the specified field for the specified word(s). The following field limits are supported:</p> <table> <tr><th>Field limit</th><th>Meaning</th></tr> <tr><td><tt>author:</tt> or <tt>a:</tt></td><td>search only author fields</td></tr> <tr><td><tt>title:</tt> or <tt>t:</tt></td><td>search only title fields</td></tr> <tr><td><tt>subject:</tt> or <tt>d:</tt></td><td>search only subject fields</td></tr> <tr><td><tt>notes:</tt> or <tt>n:</tt></td><td>search only note fields</td></tr> <tr><td><tt>rare:</tt> or <tt>f:</tt></td><td>search only rare book keyword fields</td></tr> </table> <p>For example,</p> <ul> <li><tt>a:smout</tt></li> <li><tt>a:austen t:pride</tt></li> </ul> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td></tr></table> <span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; visibility: visible; font-size: 85%; text-align: right; display: block; ">Powered by Sierra</span> </body>  <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-LDCWK5LZZE"></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'G-LDCWK5LZZE'); </script> </html>
