Use the form below to search
for documents in this Web
site 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.
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'
