Please refer to the searching instructions here:


Prefix Queries


You can search for documents that contain words with a prefix using a ’*’.


For example:



dog*



would return all document containing the word ‘dogs’ or ‘dogma’ or ‘dogal’ …


Phrases


To search for an exact series of words in order to place double quotes around the search term.


For example:



“cats and dogs”



will return all documents that contain the word ‘cats’, immediately followed by the word ‘and’, immediately followed by the word ‘dogs’.


Logical Operators


IMPORTANT: All operators must be UPPERCASE. Search terms, however, are not case-sensitive.


By default searching for multiple words will return documents that contain all of the submitted words.


For example, searching for:



cats dogs



Will find documents that have the word ‘cats’ and ‘dogs’.


OR


You can search for documents that contain any of the submitted words by using the ‘OR’ keyword. Note that the OR must be in upper case.


For example, searching for:



cats OR dogs



will find documents that contain either ‘cats’, ‘dogs’ or both.


NOT


You can explicitly exclude documents which contain the word ‘dogs’ from the search using the NOT operator.


For example:



cats NOT dogs



Grouping


For more advanced searches, you may need to explicitly group search clauses together.


For example, let's assume you want to search for all documents that contain the word ‘mice’ that also contain either the word ‘cats’ or ‘dogs’


Use this:



mice (cats OR dogs)



This will NOT work:



mice cats OR dogs



it will return all documents that contain both ‘mice’ and ‘cats’ as well as all documents that contain the word ‘dogs’.
