Detailed Search

While the keyword search should locate most documents you are looking for, it is designed to query a list of predefined terms rather than the actual content of the documents hosted. If the keyword search does not return the information you require, the search facility provided below enables a more detailed search of the documents hosted on this site.

This search facility requires that you have an internet connection established, and will direct you to a results page hosted by FreeFind.

Search Tips:

By default the search engine tries to locate pages which have exact matches for all of the words entered in your search query. If that fails, it then tries to locate pages which contain any words in your search query. If that happens a short message is displayed at the top of the search results indicating this has been done.

In addition, there are several ways to modify the default search behavior.

  1. phrase search
    The search engine supports three types of phrase search.
    * To match an exact phrase, use quotes around the phrase
    Example: "prehistoric ritual landscape"
    * To match a near (within a couple of words) phrase, use square brackets [around the words]
    Example: [prehistoric ritual landscape]
    * To match a far (within several words) phrase, use braces {around the words}
    Example: {prehistoric ritual landscape}
  2. + and - qualifiers
    If you prepend a word with + that word is required to be on the page.
    If you prepend a word with - that word is required to not be on the page.
    Example: +pottery -neolithic
  3. * wildcard
    If a query word ends with a * all words on a page which start the same way as that query word will match.
    Example: prehisto* would return prehistory and prehistoric, pot* would return pot and pottery
  4. ? wildcard
    If a query word contains a ? any character will match that position.
    Example: b?g
  5. boolean search
    You can use the following boolean operators in your search: AND, OR, NOT. These operators MUST be in capital letters.
    Example: (neolithic AND pottery)

All of the above techniques can be combined.
