If you want to do a more refined search, most queries which work with AltaVista will also work here. For example <strong>sas -excel</strong> finds documents mentioning SAS but not Excel, <strong>+s-plus sas</strong> finds documents mentioning S-Plus and preferably SAS as well, <strong>biometric*</strong> finds biometrics as well as biometrician, and <strong>"generalized linear models"</strong> finds the complete phrase. A more careful search for a phrase, allowing for different spellings and word endings, might be <strong>"generali* linear model*"</strong>. Detailed help follows below.</p> <p><b><font FACE="arial, helvetica" COLOR="#FF0000" size="-1">Natural Language queries:</font></b> <ul> <p>A simple string of terms like <b>sas excel spss</b> will find documents containing one or more of the terms. Better matches, preferably containing more than one of the terms, will be listed first. A natural language question like <b>what are generalized linear models?</b> will also work.</p> </ul> <b><font FACE="arial, helvetica" COLOR="#FF0000" size="-1"> <p>Requiring/Excluding Words:</font></b> <ul> <p>To require that a word appear in all of the results, attach a "<b>+</b>" to the beginning of the word (for example, to find software on influence diagnostics, you might try <b>+influen* diagnostic* s-plus sas</b>). You can exclude a word from all results by attaching a "-" to it (for example, if you don't want SAS software you might try <b>+influen* diagnostic* s-plus -sas</b>).</p> </ul> <p><b><font FACE="arial, helvetica" COLOR="#FF0000" size="-1">Exact Phrases:</font></b> <ul> <p>If you know that a certain phrase will appear on the page you are looking for, put the phrase in quotes (for example, <b>"against all odds"</b> will find information on the video series by that name.)</p> </ul> <p><b><font FACE="arial, helvetica" COLOR="#FF0000" size="-1">Case Sensitivity:</font></b> <ul> <p>Use only lower case unless you want your search to be case sensitive. If you search for <b>TeX</b>, you'll get only documents that include that word with just that capitalization. If you search for <b>tex</b>, you'll get any document containing that term.</p> </ul> <p><b><font FACE="arial, helvetica" COLOR="#FF0000" size="-1">Using Wildcards:</font></b> <ul> <p>Use an asterisk (*) to broaden your search. For example, use <b>biometr*</b> to find matches for biometry, biometrics or biometrical. Use this if the word you are searching for could have different endings. The asterix can be used anywhere in a word (for example, <strong>*gamma</strong> will match polygamma and trigamma as well as gamma, and <strong>generali*ed</strong> will match generalised as well as generalized). To avoid overly broad searches, the asterix can represent at most four letters or numbers (so that <b>biometr*</b> would not find biometrician), and at least three alpha-numeric characters must be included (so that the search term <strong>bi*</strong> would be ignored).</p> <p>Wild cards work even within phrases. For example, <strong>"generali* linear model*"</strong> will match any of the phrases "generalised linear model", "generalized linear model" or "generalized linear models".</p> </ul> <p><b><font FACE="arial, helvetica" COLOR="#FF0000" size="-1">Special Characters and Punctuation</font></b> <ul> <p>Search defines a word as any string of letters and digits that is separated by either: White space, such as spaces, tabs, line ends, or the start or end of a document, or Special characters and punctuation, such as %, $, /, #, and _ </p> <p>Search ignores punctuation except to interpret it as a separator for words. Placing punctuation or special characters between each word, with no spaces between the characters and the words, is also a way to indicate a phrase. For example, <b>against-all-odds</b> is an equally acceptable but less natural syntax for <strong>"against all odds"</strong>. Hyphenated words, such as <b>S-Plus</b> or <b>CD-ROM</b>, also automatically form phrases because of the hyphen.</p> </ul> <!--webbot bot="Include" i-checksum="58644" endspan --> </blockquote> <hr> <!--webbot bot="Include" U-Include="../_private/signjobs.html" TAG="BODY" startspan --> <div align="center"><center> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td height="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><form align="center" action="http://www.statsci.org/cgibin/searchjb.pl" method="get" name="SearchForm"> <p><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><input type="text" size="32" name="Terms"> <input type="submit" value="Search Jobs"> <font size="2"> <a href="search.html">Help</a></font></font></p> </form> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="bottom" height="50"> <font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><small> <a href="../index.html">Home</a> - <a href="../about.html">About Us</a> - <a href="../contact.html">Contact Us</a><br> Copyright © <a href="../smyth/index.html">Gordon Smyth</a></small></font></td> </tr> </table> </center></div> <!--webbot bot="Include" i-checksum="12572" endspan --></body></html>
