And, or, not; Truncation; Quotation marks, punctuation

Exclude “and,” “or,” and “not” from your search words. Searches that include these words find no results.

  • "And" is the default operator used in the Search box.
  • In an advanced search, you can choose to search for all of the words, any of the words, none of the words, an exact phrase, or a combination using two or more operators.

Use * (truncation) to search for words with similar spelling. For example:

  • Type japan* to find “Japan” and “Japanese.”
  • Type painting* to find “painting” and “paintings.”
  • Type 177* to find “1770,” “1771,” “1772,” etc.

Do not use quotation marks or other punctuation (such as comma, hyphen, semicolon) with your search words.

  • In an advanced search, you can choose to search with an exact phrase. Quotation marks are unnecessary.
  • In the Search box, quotation marks are ignored. To search with an exact phrase, you must go to Advanced Search.
  • Punctuation is unnecessary. For example, type four in hand to find "four-in-hand" or "four in hand."
