Search Help

NOTE: ! Also search for relevant messages on eForum with its search facility.

To find information about a topic, simply type in a few keywords. The more detailed your query, the more relevant your results.

The search engine has some advanced capabilities to help you find exactly what you're looking for. These capabilities are best shown with a few examples:

Translated: require subordinate, require clauses

· Finds subordinate clauses, Subordinate clauses, Subordinate Clauses, and clauses that are subordinate.

· Does not find the uppercase SUBORDINATE CLAUSES, nor abbreviated (a singular form in this example) subordinate clause.

Translated: forbid subordinate, require clauses

· Finds main clauses, independent clauses, non-finite clauses, and uppercase SUBORDINATE CLAUSES.

· Does not find subordinate clause nor main clause.

Translated: prefer subordinate, require clauses

· Finds subordinate clauses, main clauses, depedent clauses, non-finite clauses, and Subordinate Clauses, etc.

· Documents with both search terms appear higher in the list.

Translated: require the phrase subordinate clauses

· Finds subordinate clauses.

· Does not find subordinate clause nor clauses that are subordinate.

Translated: require subordinate (case insensitive), require words starting with clause

· Finds subordinate clause, subordinate clauses, Subordinate clause, and Subordinate clauses.

· The asterisk is a wildcard representing any four or fewer characters.

Translated: require clauses (case insensitive), require nonfinite, forbid verbless, prefer finite

· First lists nonfinite and finite clauses, then nonfinite clauses.

· Does not list abbreviated nonfinite clause, nor forbidden verbless nonfinite clauses.

Translated: ignores common words like which and is and looks for variants of the required string — words containing finite

· Finds finite, finites, infinite, and nonfinite.

· To suppress the ignore feature, use quotes, as in "Which is *finite*?".

Advanced features for searching: You can search more than text. Many search engines offer other searching strategies, such as

link:address Finds pages that link to the specified address, or a substring of it. Use link:www.mla.org to find all pages linking to the Modern Language Association sites. Note: this feature is not implemented on all search engines.

text:text Finds pages that contain the specified text in any part of the page other than an image tag, link, or URL. The search text:document would find all pages with the term document in them.

title:text Finds pages that contain the specified word or phrase in the page title (which appears in the title bar of most browsers). The search title:Nominalization would find pages with Nominalization in the title.

url:text Finds pages with a specific word or phrase in the URL. Use url:style to find all pages on all servers that have the word style in the host name, path, or filename - the complete URL, in other words.

A note on case sensitivity: only words or phrases containing an upper case character will be treated as case sensitive. A search on "ibm" will match "ibm", "Ibm", "iBm", "ibM", "iBM", "IBm", and "IBM" while the term "IBM" matches only its uppercase version.

The asterisk (*) is a powerful search tool, but has some limitations. It cannot span words — that is, the query "powerfu*earch" would not match the first sentence of this paragraph — and it can represent at most four letters or numbers. To avoid overly broad searches, the asterisk can only be used in words or phrases which have at least three alpha-numeric characters. A search for "th*" would be ignored.
