How to Search


Any of the words or All of the words search

Enter a list of words or phrases to find.  Use quotation marks around phrases, put + in front of any word or phrase that is required, and - in front of a word or phrase to exclude it.  Examples:

banana pear "apple pie"
"apple pie" -salad +"ice cream"


Boolean search

Use connectors such as and and or to indicate the relationship between words or phrases in your search request.  Examples:

apple and pear Both words must be present
apple or pear Either word can be present
apple w/5 pear Apple must occur within 5 words of pear
apple not w/5 pear Apple must not occur within 5 words of pear
apple and not pear Only apple must be present
name contains smith The field name must contain smith


Stemming

Finds grammatical variations on endings, like applies, applied, applying in a search for apply.

To add stemming selectively, add a ~ at the end of words that you want stemmed in a search.  Example: apply~


Fuzzy searching

Finds words even if they are misspelled.  A search for alphabet with a fuzziness of 1 would also find alphaqet.  With a fuzziness of 3, the same search would find both alphaqet and alpkaqet.

You can adjust the level of fuzziness from 1 to 10.  Add fuzziness selectively using the % character.  Examples:

ba%nana Word must begin with ba and have at most one difference between it and banana
b%%anana Word must begin with b and have at most two differences between it and banana


Phonic searching

Finds words that sound alike, like Smythe in a search for Smith.

To search for a word phonically, put a # in front of the word in your search request.  Examples: #smith, #johnson
