Hints on searching

You may combine search words with OR, AND and NOT. AND-expressions are evaluated before OR-expressions. Words are ANDed together by default. Hence simpson ganesh is equivalent to simpson and ganesh.

For instance the search expression simpson AND rosa OR johnnie will find all documents containing both simpson and rosa, plus all documents containing johnnie. You may also write this as ( simpson AND rosa ) OR johnnie.

The search expression bailey OR darden AND NOT marcia will find all documents containing darden and that does not contain marcia, plus all documents containing bailey. You may also write this as bailey OR ( darden AND (NOT marcia ) ).

You can search for partial words by truncating them with *, for instance Kni* will match all words beginning with Kni. Note that this is also useful for getting plurals and posessives of words, so cut will not find cute boy nor will it uncover remove the cuticle painlessly. But cut* will find both.
