If you choose Yes for "Words adjacent," you can type in the phrase computer programming
and the system will understand that you want only records that have the word computer NEXT to the
word programming.
Lower-case letters will find matches of capitalized words also. For example, computer will
find matches for computer, Computer and COMPUTER.
You may use the Boolean operators AND and OR in your search string. For example, you
could type (heart OR cardiac) AND surgery to retrieve all records having heart or cardiac in
them, together with the word surgery.
Use the ? character to find matches that contain portions of words. For example, gun? will
retrieve gun, guns, gunners, gunnery, gunning, etc. In another example, ?ology will retrieve
anthropology, archaeology, psychology, etc. The ? character may also be used to find variant
spellings. For example, alumi?m will find both the American spelling, aluminum, and the British
spelling, aluminium.
