<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 <a href="#querylang">explanation</a> of the
query language is available, along with examples.</p>

<h2><a name="querylang">Query Language</a></h2>
<p>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:</p>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><strong><tt>information retrieval</tt></strong></dt>
<dd>finds documents containing 'information' or 'retrieval'<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><tt>information or retrieval</tt></strong></dt>
<dd>same as above<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><tt>information and retrieval</tt></strong></dt>
<dd>finds documents containing both 'information' and 'retrieval'<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><tt>information not retrieval</tt></strong></dt>
<dd>finds documents containing 'information' but not 'retrieval'<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><tt>(information not retrieval) and WAIS</tt></strong></dt>
<dd>finds documents containing 'WAIS', plus 'information' but not 'retrieval'<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><tt>web*</tt></strong></dt>
<dd>finds documents containing words starting with 'web'<br>
<br>
</dd>
