Long queries result in very long expanded queries, which are truncated by either Verity or the Web server. If this happens, try searching fewer fields, or try the Expert Search. Use the Expert search if you want to narrow your search to certain date ranges. Not all fields available for searching may appear on the search form. If you want to search other fields or narrow your search further, try the Expert Search.
More operators are available in the Expert Search.
Your expanded query shows up on the top of the results page. You could save favorite Expert Search queries in a text file, keeping them available for future use. Similar words have characters inserted, deleted, or transposed. The more instances of these words in a page, the higher it appears in the results list. Note that this only works for date fields, not text.
