Keyword search terms may be combined with operators enabling you to broaden or narrow a search. The more specific the operator, the fewer matches you will get. Keyword searches may be qualified to limit search terms to a field or group of fields in the author, title, or subject portion of the record. Format Code Limits search to Example b.fmt. Language Code Limits search to Example ara.la.
Language codes are usually the first three letters of the language.
Language searching can be very slow. Use truncation to search for books in a specific decade. The EDIT command allows you to modify your search and resubmit it. This may be particularly useful with long, elaborately constructed keyword searches and for correcting typographical errors. Under most circumstances, the command line at the bottom of the screen will permit searches of up to 48 characters.
