Proximity Search or Near Operator
You can search for terms that occur within a paragraph, provided the administrator has built the database(s) with paragraph option. When typing two words within double quotes, the "near" operator will be automatically inserted.

Exact phrase
You can search for an exact phrase (query containing more than one term) in a document by putting single quotes around the search query. The searched phrase within single quotes should be filled inside the first text box.

Wild card
You can use wild card search to get results that start with particular characters by typing * at the end of the search query. For example, to get documents containing terms that begin with comp, enter comp* as the search term.
