Search using search terms

Guidelines for good results

• To widen the search for a term or a date use the symbols ? or *. ? replaces one character, * replaces 0 to n characters. These two symbols can only be used in the middle or at the end of the searched word, never at the beginning.
  Example: t?ansport* will find transportation, transporting, etc.


• A search term can be a single word or a string of words.
  


• Use a comma ‘,’ between the terms or expressions in a search to get the documents that contain at least one of those terms or expressions.
  Example: transport, energy returns documents that contain either the word ‘transport’, the word ‘energy’ or both of these words.


• Use WITH to restrict the search to documents that contain all the terms or expressions specified.
  Example: transport WITH energy restricts the search to documents that contain both these terms.


• Use EXCEPT to exclude from the search documents that contain certain words.
  Example: transport EXCEPT energy allows the documents to be found that contain the word ‘transport’ but not the word ‘energy’.
