Exact Match

In the Search mode, you look for entries by author name, title and annotation text. There are four ways that you can use this routine:

  1. Enter a single word, and the search will return all entries that contain that word anywhere in the bibliographic information or the brief abstract describing the entry.
  2. Enter two or more words, and you will receive a list of entries that contain ALL the words in your expression without regard to order. This is equivalent to a simple AND Boolean search.
  3. Enter two or more words enclosed in double quotes ("), and you will receive a list of entries that contain the words in the exact order specified in the search phrase.
  4. Click Exact Match to search terms as whole words. For instance, searching on Goldberg returns Goldberg and Goldberger while an Exact Match only returns Goldberg.

This routine does not permit Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT, and parentheses) in the search string. Whichever approach you use, the search list contains a short title for each entry returned.
