More information about searching:
- This engine created by the Endings Project performs a stemming of terms (so searching for ‘wait’ will also retrieve ‘waiting’, ‘waits’, ‘waited’ etc.).
- You can use Boolean search operators. Adding + (plus) before a word means that search results must contain that word, and adding a - (minus) means that results must not contain that word. Words without plus or minus are treated as "may contain," contributing to the relevance score and thus ordering in order of importance the list of retrieved documents.
- You can conduct phrasal searches. Any quoted phrase will be searched as-is, and when quoted phrases are included in a search, any hit document must contain at least one of the phrases sought.
- You can launch wildcard searches, using the asterisk (*), question mark (?) and character classes ([ab]). So you can search for lo[uv]e? to find ‘loved’, ‘loued’, ‘loves’, ‘louer’, etc.
