The search is not case-sensitive
Use words from the title or subtitle that are as meaningful as possible (no articles, prepositions, etc.).
Search with Wildcards
- "*" replaces any number,
- "?" replaces exactly one character in the search term.
- Example: "mark*" finds terms such as "mark", "brand", "brands", "marketing", "mark".
Phrase search
- "...": Terms in quotation marks are searched for as a group of words.
Multiple terms in a field and multiple fields are automatically linked with "and", limiting the search.
A combination of multiple terms with "or" must be specified separately; this extends the search.
What to do with too many hits?
- Restriction according to years of publication
- Restriction with further search terms
- Change of search field (e.g. "title keyword" or "keyword" instead of "free search")
What to do with 0 hits or too few hits?
Writing errors?
