Then select whether you want results sent to your browser or to an email address that you MUST specify. Searches are slow; please be patient. The form of your search string should be: <P> search <EM>datafield search_string ((logical_operator) datafield search_string)</EM> <P> The command "search", the first datafield, and the first search_string are required. If a subsequent logical operator is used, another pair of datafield and search_string are required.<P> Allowed logical operations are AND (abbreviated && or &), OR (|| or |), and NOT (! or ~). If the words are used for these logical operations, THEY MUST APPEAR IN UPPER CASE. Any number of logical operations are allowed, and parentheses are allowed to force precedence. <P> Datafields are data field names for the reference format type for which you are looking. For example, <EM>Title_chapter</EM> will return only chapter references matching the search string. However, <EM>Title</EM> will match any type of title in the archive. Using the phrase <EM>all</EM> as the datafield will search all datafields in the archive. <P> Click the following for a list of allowed datafields for each reference type: <P> Search strings are phrases that you want searched. If you use the search command <EM>search author John</EM> the archive will return all references (of any format type) in which the phrase "John" appears anywhere in any of the author fields. So the archive will find <EM> Author3: John, Richard</EM> and <EM>Author1: Johnson, Christopher</EM> and <EM>Author2: Jingleheimer-Schmidt, John Jacob</EM>. If you wanted to receive just the first record, the best approach would be to specify <EM>search author John, R</EM> <P> You can also use regular expressions in place of search strings. This is most useful if you want to allow default characters to end a word. For example, the command <EM>search keyword transitiv</EM> will find references having the word transitive, intransitive, transitivity, and intransitivity in the keywords data field.
