• Easily Refine your Search

Once you have created a basic search using OneSearch,
refine it by these or other filters:

• Type of Content
• Subject Terms
• Publication Date
• Location
• Language

Here's how:

• Choose "More Options" below each of these areas to be able to "include" or "exclude" items in each area.
• Put phrases inside quotation marks to search for words in a specific order, i.e., "civil war" or "multicultural education."

Enclose phrases in quotes to retrieve words next to each other in the specified order:  “citizen journalism” 

Proximity to Other Words: 

Enclose your search terms in quotes and use the tilde (~) followed by a number. Example: “yeast bread”~10 finds material where “yeast” and “bread” appear within 10 words of each other in the specified order. 

Search a Range: 

Use the { } characters to indicate a search range in OneSearch. When used on the years {2006 TO 2008} any instance of 2006, 2007, or 2008 will be returned. 

Include Similar Terms in the Search: 

Use the tilde (~) character at the end of a word to match words that look similar. When used on the term “Lead~” it will match “Wead,” “Veade,” and “Tead.” 

An additional parameter can specify the required similarity. Select a value between 0 and 1, values closer to 1 indicate a higher similarity. For example: lead~0. If the parameter is not supplied, the default is 0.5.
