Special Notes (for all searches) |
- The search keyword is case insensitive.
- The keyword will match the beginning, middle, or end of a
word (or number); it is not constrained
to match an entire word.
- A multiple-keyword string ("phrase") can be entered. The
string is searched for exactly as entered (but case
insensitive).
- Boolean search constructions, +/- string prefixes, and
quoted phrases are not supported.
[If surrounding quotes are entered, they will be searched
for!]
