Use the form below to search for documents in
this web containing specific words or combinations
of words. The text search engine will display a
weighted list of matching documents, with better
matches shown first. Each list item is a link to a
matching document; if the document has a title, it
will be shown, otherwise only the document's file
name is displayed. A brief explanation
of the query language is available, along with
examples. Last Updated: 02/06/08
The text search engine allows queries to be
formed from arbitrary Boolean expressions
containing the keywords AND, OR, and NOT, and
grouped with parentheses. For example:
- information retrieval
- finds documents containing 'information'
or 'retrieval'
- information or retrieval
- same as above
- information and retrieval
- finds documents containing both
'information' and 'retrieval'
- information not retrieval
- finds documents containing 'information'
but not 'retrieval'
- (information not retrieval)
and WAIS
- finds documents containing 'WAIS', plus
'information' but not 'retrieval'
- web*
- finds documents containing words starting
with 'web'
