WORD/PHRASE By default, multiple words are searched as a phrase. The phrase search will only retrieve records containing the words side-by-side and in the same order, for example turner prize If no search results are found with the phrase search, the system tries a different search by putting the boolean operator 'and' between the search terms, for example turner and prize Enclosing search terms in quotation marks will stop the system from trying a boolean search, for example "turner prize" TRUNCATION 1 character may be internally or right-hand truncated using a question mark, for example
reali?ation - retrieves: realisation, realization 1 to 5 characters may be internally or right-hand truncated using one asterisk, for example
