How to Search in EMu

Boolean Operators

Boolean operators can be used when searching within a field:

AND

If two terms are entered on the same line in a field, the Boolean operator and applies, e.g. collector [and] author

Records that contain all words specified in a search, anywhere in the field, are found. Words do not have to be adjacent within the field to match this search.

OR

If two terms are entered on different lines in a field, the Boolean operator or applies, e.g. collector [or] author

Records that contain one term or both are found.

NOT

If an exclamation mark (!) is entered before the search term, the Boolean operator not applies, e.g. [not] !collector

All records not containing the term in the field are found.
