Use the form below to search for
documents in this web containing specific words or
combinations of words. The text search engine will
display a weighted list of matching documents, with
better matches shown first. Each list item is a link
to a matching document; if the document has a title
it will be shown, otherwise only the document's file
name is displayed. A brief explanation of the query language is available, along
with examples.
The text search engine allows
queries to be formed from arbitrary Boolean
expressions containing the keywords AND, OR, and NOT,
and grouped with parentheses. For example:
- information
retrieval
- finds documents containing
'information' or 'retrieval'
- information or
retrieval
- same as above
- information
and retrieval
- finds documents containing
both 'information' and 'retrieval'
- information
not retrieval
- finds documents containing
'information' but not 'retrieval'
- (information
not retrieval) and WAIS
- finds documents containing
'WAIS', plus 'information' but not
'retrieval'
- web*
- finds documents containing
words starting with 'web'
