You
can search in a surprising variety of ways. The simplest keyword
search will retrieve the greatest number of results--often
not what you want. A more complex search will retrieve fewer
results, but each one is more likely to be what you are looking
for. Note that many of these techniques are used in all the
search programs you will encounter on the Web.
SINGLE
KEYWORD SEARCH
For example, Drama. This is the simplest kind
of search and is likely to return hundreds or thousands of
entries.
MULTIPLE
KEYWORD SEARCH
For example, Internet and training or training or
courses. Use the modifiers AND and OR to link keywords
together into a single search. Keywords linked by AND will
return all entries that contain BOTH of the keywords. Keywords
linked by OR will return all entries that contain EITHER of
them.
PHRASE
SEARCH
For example, "Electrical Engineering". Place
multiple words inside quotation marks to get results that
contain that exact phrase.
LIMITED
SEARCH
For example, Title:rotunda. You can limit searches
to particular fields of the Web document by entering that
field followed by a colon and a keyword. The entry Title:rotunda
will only return entries that have the word "rotunda"
in the document's title. Other fields to which you can restrict
a search include: Author, Abstract, Title, Full-Text, and
Update-Time
COMBINED
TECHNIQUES
You can combine the techniques listed above into a complex
search such as "World Wide Web" and (Title:Library)
and (training or courses).
Remember
that you can also conduct a:
 Search
with custom Query Options and Display Settings.
