Basic Search Help:

The basic search is a keyword search. 

• NOTE: The search assumes you want results with all your keyword terms unless OR or NOT are specified between words and phrases.

To search for a phrase, use quotation marks.

• ex: "global warming"

To search for items with at least one or more words or phrases, use OR or NOT.

• celtic NOT irish

Use wildcards (? or *) to find all possible results with variations of your search word.

• Use ? to perform a single character wildcard search. ex: wom?n - will find results including women, woman, and so forth. 
• Use * to perform a multiple character wildcard search. ex: cult* - will find culture, cultural, culturally, and so forth.
