Basic Instructions
The Finder is not case-sensitive. You may enter upper or lower case characters.The Finder searches character strings, including spaces, just as they are entered. Thus, "john" in the name field yields all references which have this string of characters, including publications with names "Johns," "Johnson," "Bonjohn," etc., anywhere they appear in the author's name.
Searching Multiple Terms - ALL, ANY
"ALL" is the default search. If you select multiple fields on which to search, you should control your search using "ALL" or "ANY." "ALL" searches for records containing all the terms selected. For example, a search on Author=Dunst AND Publisher=Brookes would yield only Dunst's works published by Paul H. Brookes Publishing Co.Selecting "ANY" searches for records containing any of the terms chosen. A search using "ANY" would yield documents where at least one of the terms appeared in each reference's record. "ANY" is used to combine terms that have similar meaning and broadens the search.
