To search for a word or exact phrase:

1. Enter a word or phrase in the search line, and click on the Submit Query button;
2. Each entry containing the search string will be displayed, first as a Keyword in Context (KWIC) concordance and then in its entirety.

To initiate a compound search:

1. Enter a word or phrase into the first search line;
2. Enter a word or phrase into the second search line;
3. Select a proximity level (Near, Not Near, Followed By, Not Followed By) or boolean operator (and, or, not) from the button immediately below the first search line.

Hints:

• In order to find an exact word, place a hard space immediately following the word. For example, "paper_" (the underscore indicates a hard space) will return all occurences of the word "paper." You may initiate a truncated-word search by entering a partial word into the search line but leaving out the hard space. For example, "paper" (without the hard space) will return paper, papers, etc.



• You may limit your searches to specific fields within the database by clicking on the button immediately below the search line and choosing one of the following types:
  1. All entries
  2. Author attributions
  3. Titles
  4. Volume numbers
  5. Dates
  6. page numbers
  7. Sources
  8. Introduction only
