Enter here words to be looked for in the full text of the documents. You can combine a number of terms using the four text fields.

  2. or: search for all documents containing at least one of the terms in the first three fields.
  3. with: search for all documents containing at least one of the terms in the first three fields and the terms in the fourth field.

Practical tips

  1. The search terms must be entered in the chosen language (Finnish or Swedish).
  2. Do not enter nouns and adjectives in the plural, or use conjugated forms of verbs. For Finnish, do not decline nouns or adjectives or add suffixes. The targeted search engine will find a word in all its various forms.
  3. There is no point in entering articles, prepositions, etc.
  4. You can use right truncation (by adding + to a stem), which allows you to work with all the variants of a stem and to replace an indeterminate number of characters.
