The most important things to remember about using the search engine to locate a book:
- Unless performing a special search (see below), only use alpha-numeric characters;
- Searching is not case-sensitive (a search for lemon will find Lemon, LEMON and LeMon, as well as all other variations.);
Under normal use, a search will locate items containing a match with all of the search terms used. Thus, an Author search for Anne Macleod would find all books whose author's name contains both Anne AND Macleod.
Words can be excluded from a search by placing a minus-sign ( - ) immediately before the relevant word. There should be no spaces after the minus sign. An Author search for Anne -Macleod would find all books whose author's name contains Anne but does NOT contain Macleod.
To locate a phrase, simply place double-quotes ( " ) around the exact string to be matched. For example, a search for "read basket" will locate matches for read basket but not bread basket or read baskets.
A partial-match search is performed by adding an asterisk ( * ) at the beginning and/or end of the partial word you want to locate. For example, a search for *list* would find listening, enlisted and all other words containing list.
