Both the basic and advanced searches allow truncation . Basic search Enter your words in the input box. The basic search will find documents that contain all of the words you entered the words. Remember to remove common words such as a , the , of , and , and so on, or else you will find too many pages. Capital and small letters are treated the same.
Advanced search Enter an exact or truncated word or phrase in each input box.
You may then limit your search to specific fields or with boolean operators. As is normal, AND has precedence over OR . NOT is an abbreviation for AND NOT . However, please note that words are not always spelt the same way, so please try other ways of spelling, if you don't find what you are searching for, or use truncation or a different spelling.
