SEARCHING THE DATABASE:
    The CD-ROM version of The World Almanac allows you to search
the entire book for a word or combination of words, or to limit
your search to just one or more specific sections of the book.  Also,
using combinations of AND, OR (Boolean operators) allows you to make
searches even more specific.

    The search term BEATLES AND LENNON would find sections where
both the words "Beatles" and "Lennon" both appeared.
    
    The search term BEATLES OR LENNON would find sections where 
either the words "Beatles" or "Lennon" appeared.

    Phrases should be enclosed in double quotes. For example: a 
search on "UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY" would find articles
which contained these four words contiguous to each other.
