Search for Documents

Use the form below to search for documents in this web containing specific words or combinations of words. 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. A brief explanation of the query language is available, along with examples.

Query Language

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:

knierim anna

finds documents containing 'knierim' or 'anna'

knierim or anna

same as above

knierim and anna

finds documents containing both 'anna' and 'knierim'

knierim not john

finds documents containing 'knierim' but not 'john'

(knierim not john) and paul

finds documents containing 'paul', plus 'knierim' but not 'john'

kni*

finds documents containing words starting with 'kni'

Please Note:  You are generally better off searching in lower case letters even when you are searching on an obvious upper case word . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
