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.

expressions containing the keywords AND, OR, and NOT, and grouped with
parentheses. For example:

- information and retrieval
- finds documents containing both 'information' and 'retrieval'
- information not retrieval
- finds documents containing 'information' but not 'retrieval'
- (information not retrieval) and WAIS
- finds documents containing 'WAIS', plus 'information' but not
'retrieval'
