Search Tips
- If your search keyword has an accented letter, then just use the letter without the accent.
- The search will look for files with all your search words in unless you type
or between them.
- You can look for prefixes by adding a '*' at the end. e.g. integrat* will find integration, integrated, integrating, etc.
- You can look for events in a particular decade by typing, say, 180* for the decade from 1800 to 1809 (as well as occurrences of 180).
- When "Display Context" is checked, some of the sentences that appear
may end with a link saying Go directly to this paragraph.
These links will take you straight to the paragraph that the sentence is in.
- If your browser can cope with frames, the "preview" link after each title
will display the file in a separate window.
If your browser does not handle forms then you can use the Simple Search Form.
