Search The Special Collections Web
Site |
Use
the form below to search for Special
Collections web pages containing specific words or
combinations of words. The text search
engine will display a weighted list of
matching documents, ten at a time, with better matches
shown first. Each list item is a link to
a matching document; if the document has
a title it will be shown, otherwise only
the document's file name is displayed. A
brief explanation
of the query language is available,
along with examples.
The
text search engine allows queries to be
formed from arbitrary Boolean
expressions containing the keywords AND,
OR, and NOT, and grouped with
parentheses. For example:
- information
retrieval
- finds
documents containing 'information'
or 'retrieval'
- information
or retrieval
- same
as above
- information and
retrieval
- finds
documents containing both
'information' and 'retrieval'
- information not
retrieval
- finds
documents containing 'information'
but not 'retrieval'
- (information
not retrieval) and WAIS
- finds
documents containing 'WAIS', plus
'information' but not 'retrieval'
- web*
- finds
documents containing words
starting with 'web'
