Choosing a search type
One way to control your search is to select from among a number
of search types.
Simple search is the most basic search which lets you look
for a single word or phrase. Because it is less specific, sometimes
your search results wil be larger than for advanced searches that
let you be more specific in your search query.
Boolean search lets you look for combinations of up to
three terms or phrases using Boolean connector terms (i.e., AND,
OR, NOT).
Proximity search lets you look for terms based on whether
they occur (or do not occur) within a specified distance of each
other.
Citation search lets you look for words that occur in author
or title fields.
Word index lets you browse through concordances of words
that occur in works, selecting values as you go to add to a search
query that you can then submit at any time.
