You can enter separate query words for the title, author, abstract, and
full text of the article. Results of this search must match all of the query words
you enter (for example, if you enter a title word "capacitor" and an author "Smith",
you will only get back articles that have the author "Smith" and also the title word
"capacitor"). You can leave a field blank to match anything in that field.
You can use a "*" at the end of a query word to search multiple forms of that
word. For example the query "packag*" would match "package", "packages", and
"packaging".
You can separate multiple search terms by the Boolean operators "AND", "OR", or
"NOT". For example, the query "capacitor AND resistor" would match documents
containing both the word "capacitor" and the word "resistor". The query
"capacitor OR resistor" would match documents containing "capacitor" or
"resistor", but not necessarily both. The query "capacitor NOT resistor" would
match documents containing "capacitor" but not containing the word "resistor". All
of the operators can be combined with the use of "*". When you are using multiple
fields of the advanced search, you should only use the "AND" operator within
each field (not "OR" or "NOT").
Multiple search words separated by blanks are treated as if they were separated by
"AND".
After you go to the minipaper file for an article returned by the search engine, your
query words will be highlighted in a different color (but, note that this does not
happen for query words entered into advanced search fields other than the full-text
field).
