You can search for any
text anywhere on our web site. (To search the entire world
wide web we suggest Alta Vista.)
Use the form below to search for pages or documents on the IFA site
containing
specific matching words, combinations of words, or even parts of words.
Below is a brief explanation
of the query language, along with examples.
|
 |
|
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.
|
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'
