Examples and tipsIf you enter multiple keywords e.g. coal mining into a search box they will be joined together by the Boolean operator AND e.g. "coal" AND "mining". This will return results containing both the word coal and the word mining. To search for an exact phrase enter the words in quotation marks e.g. "fine arts". If you wish to search for a phrase containing a reserved term such as and, or, not e.g. law and order you should enter the words in quotation marks e.g. "law and order". You can use other Boolean and proximity operators to combine search terms or wildcard characters to include variations on a term. TIP: All searches are case-insensitive, so you don't have to know whether a word should be capitalized or not. For example, there is no difference between london, London or LonDon.
