Q. Can I use Boolean Operators, phrase searching, truncation etc in the Library Search?

The new library search supports the usual Boolean Operators, phrase searching and truncation functions.

Please use the following Boolean Operators in CAPS to get appropriate results

• AND
• OR
• NOT

The search  assumes that you are searching for all the words you type unless OR or NOT are specified between the words and phrases.

The search also supports

• phrase searching with double quotes - eg. "Credit Risk" to look for the exact phrase.
• Truncation with  asterisk - or * e.g. manag* to look for management, managing, manager etc.
• Single wildcard with question mark or ? - e.g wom?n to look for woman or women.

The library search does not support asterisks or wildcard characters at the beginning of a word and will ignore it. e.g *aying or ?saying will be searched as aying.
