How to Enter Search Terms

• Search terms are not case-sensitive.
• Symbols（ + - &  | ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ ~ ? : \ ; . , @ = / # $ % ' _ < > ` ）will be converted into spaces. Symbols between words will also be converted into spaces. In this case the search word will be divided into multiple words.
• Consecutive spaces are regarded as a single space.
• The system matches exact word as entered in the search term boxes. For example, search terms as "Materials are selected in this environment" will match "Materials" but not "Mate".
• You may use an asterisk at the end of a search term, as a wild card. Thus "material*" will search for words beginning with "material".
• You can specify a match with a phrase by concatenating your search terms by double quotation marks. Thus "information technology" will retrieve a content containing the phrase "information technology".

Language

You may search for Greek characters in the spelled-out form. For example, when you enter "alpha", you will get a content containing " ". This may not be the case for phrase searching. Words with superscripts and subscripts can be searched by putting space(s) in between. H2O should be entered as "H 2 O" (H 2O). Note that in this case it will be searched the same was as in the case of H or 2 or O. Use double quotation marks to avoid irrelevant hits.

Author Name Field

The format of author names are not normalized. They are expressed as they are in the original data. If you enter "John Smith" as a phrase, it will not retrieve Smith John in the original data. John Smith without double quotation marks, may retrieve articles co-authored by John Carter and George Smith.
