Search Term Tips

• If you are searching for a phrase (two or more words which need to stay in the exact same order to keep their meaning), put quotation marks around the phrase.  e.g. “fire drill”
• Use an asterisk to find words that can have many different endings.  E.g. nurs* (finds nurse, nurses, and nursing)
• You can use combinations of the above.  e.g. “united states” and young and vot*
