| Find ALL words or a phrase Multiple words in one search box are combined with AND. That is, the search looks for ALL words. To search for a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. If no records are found, try another search without the quotation marks. If no records are found using AND, the system will combine words with OR (look for ANY words). |
Phrase: "european union" ALL words: sociolinguistics symbolism If no records are found, the search is changed: Tried: (sociolinguistics and symbolism) no records found... Tried: (sociolinguistics or symbolism) 87 results found... |
| Combine Words You may use AND or OR to find multiple words, any order. Use AND NOT to exclude words. If you use both AND and OR in the same search, put parentheses around words combined with OR! For details and illustrations, see How do I use Boolean Operators? |
