Advanced Search
In Advanced Search you may choose a particular field to search, such as: Author, Title, Periodical, Descriptor, Abstract, Pub Year, Volume or Ref ID. You can also select Anywhere to perform a search for a particular term or phase in any field. The Anywhere search is similar to Quick Search but may combined with other criteria in the specific fields. Next, select the Boolean connector you want to use to connect the various search criteria.
| Boolean Connector | Description |
| AND | Use AND to narrow the search to retrieve records that contain all of the words it separates. |
| OR | Use OR to broaden the search and retrieve records containing any of the words it separates. |
| NOT | And use NOT to narrow the search and retrieve records that do not contain the term following it. |
To search the entire database select Search: All References. To narrow the search, select one or more folders in the Only References In: section.
In all fields except Descriptor, Advanced Search is similar to Quick Search in that it looks for embedded terms.
In the Descriptor field, however, unlike Quick Search,
it does not search for embedded instances of a search term. If you search
for art you will only find
references with the word art
in a descriptor it will not find heart.
Select Search to perform a search on the terms you've typed in or click on Clear to start over. Search results are displayed alphabetically by author.
