Here are some tips on how to search TOTW: Boolean Operators You can use the booleans operators "and", "or", or "not" when searching. The default is "and". The operators are case sensitive -- use lowercase ONLY. Evaluation takes place from left to right only, although you can use parentheses to force the order of evaluation (see below). Example: "smilla or snow" retrieves files containing either the words "smilla" or "snow" Example: "smilla and snow not sense" retrieves first the files that contain both the words "smilla" and "snow"; then among those the ones that do not contain the word "sense" Truncation The only wildcard available at this time is (*). It can only be used at the end of a word. Usage at the beginning or in the middle of the word will yield no results. Example: "librarian" this query only retrieves files which contain the given word. On the other hand: "librarian*" retrieves "librarians", "librarianship", etc. along with "librarian". Order of Evaluation Expressions are always evaluated left to right: Example: "juliet not ophelia and pac" retrieves files which contain "juliet" and "pac" but not "ophelia" However it is always possible to force the order of evaluation by using parenthesis. Example: "juliet not (ophelia and pac)" retrieves files with "juliet" and containing neither "ophelia" nor "pac". |
