Tips for Advanced Searching

  1. If you know the exact phrase you are searching for, enclose your search in quotation marks. For example: "American Church History"
     
  2. Use the search modifiers in the dropdown menu to limit your search for Title, Author, Subject, Journal title, etc. By default, the program will search for your phrase in all text, which can bring up many unexpected results.
     
  3. Refine your search using the drop down AND, OR, and NOT operators to the left of the second and third search boxes. For example, "American Church History" AND "Missions" OR "Missionaries" will return results that only contain both the exact phrase and missions or missionaries in the record.
