SEARCH FORM

Use the form below to search for documents in this web containing specific words or combinations of words.

The text search engine will display a weighted list of matching documents, 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 how to use the Search Feature follows below, along with examples.

How to Use the Search Feature

The text search engine allows queries (searches) to be formed from arbitrary Boolean expressions containing the keywords AND, OR, and NOT, and grouped with parentheses. For example if you insert the words "information" and "retrieval" the following different ways your results will vary accordingly...

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'.  The * is a "wild-card" character and represents all letters after the word "web"
