SEARCH HINTS

You may select from the pull-down menu whether to search by keywords in the descriptive text about the book, by author name, or by individual words in the title and subtitle. Then enter the word(s) you want to seek in the text box and click the "GO" button. The search will look for all books that match the words you enter. It is not case sensitive and it accepts the standard asterisk (*) wildcard.

The author index includes co-authors, editors, and translators. Words in the title/subtitle or book description may be combined using AND or OR. If you don't use AND or OR, the search engine will return hits that match ANY single one of your terms. If you use AND between your search terms, the search will assume you are looking for hits that combine ALL of the words entered. NOT is also available, so searches like 'good AND NOT bad' work too.

ISBN numbers may be entered as keywords or title/subtitle with or without hyphens.

If you would like more options, select More Options from the pull-down menu and click on the "GO" button. For even more advanced options, select Power Search from the menu. Each of these has its own hints file.
