| • You may substitute an asterisk (*) for one or more
characters. |

using quotation marks. (Also see "Case Sensitivity" below) |

| |
| Multiple Word Searches: |
| • To find all of 2 or more keywords, use 'and'
between each word. |

| • To find any of 2 or more keywords, use a comma
between each word. |
| Example: finance,
financial, money |
| • To find documents including one word, but without
another word, use 'not' before the word you want to exclude. |
| Example: computer
not programming |
| • To find an exact phrase, use quotation marks. |
| Example: "Criminal
Justice" - will find this exact phrase, but will not find 'Criminal'
or 'Justice' as single words. |

| Case Sensitivity: |
| • Use lower case letters if you want to find all matches
of your keyword. |
