General Search Tips
To perform a search, enter your keyword(s) in the box provided
and click on the GO button.
When searching using multiple keywords you can narrow your search in two ways:
- by selecting filtering and sorting options from displayed drop down lists, or
- by entering specific letter operators together with your query directrly to the search box
Using the + and - characters:
- +keyword(s) - all of your search results will contain this word
- -keyword(s) - none of your search results will contain this word
For example:
- novel +fiction will return results where both terms novel and fiction appear in the text
- literature -poetry will return results containing the term literature in the text and exclude those also containing the term poetry
You need to enter a space between the keywords, but not immediately after the + or the - characters.
Exact phrase:
You can use streight double quotation marks ( " " ) to search for an exact phrase. For example:
- "Science Fiction and Fantasy" will return results where the exact term
"Science Fiction and Fantasy" appears in the text
Wildcarding
Use a question mark ( ? ) to replace a single character anywhere in a word or
Use an asterisk ( * ) to replace multiple characters anywhere in a word.
One limitation though is that you may not use wildcard characters at the begining of the keyword,
e.g. *star will be treated as just keyword star.
- te?t finds test and text
- parasit* finds parasite, parasitic, parasitology, parasitemia
Where have my àcceñts gone?
Although the double quotes are intended to enable phrase searching, just like any web search engine
for example, you can also use them to signify single words where accents and other diacritics matter.
- "mangé" "pensé" finds exact words with proper accents.
Spellchecking
Make Literature has a spellchecker which automatically suggests alternatives to your query
should it appear to be misspelt. For example:
- mysterous will bring back results for this keyword and suggest an alternative: "did you mean mysterious?"
You can rerun your query using the proposed spelling.
