Biomass Document Database - Search Help

This search will do searches on the Biomass document database. It does not search the entire World Wide Web.

Search Types

The box entitled Enter Search Terms allows you to type in your search words (separated by a space). You may search by Title, Abstract, Keyword, Author or Document Number.

Search By Title, Keyword, Abstract

Searches the Title, Abstract, and Keywords to find documents with the words you have typed in. When you click the Search button, three sets of results are returned: 1) documents with the exact phrase; 2) documents with all the words you typed in, but not necessarily in the order you typed; 3) documents with any one of the words you typed in.

Search By Author

To search for documents by a particular Author (includes authors and contributing authors), type in the name of the Author. You are more likely to get the results you want by typing in the last name only. If you type in two last names, separated by a space, all documents with either name listed as the author will be returned in the search results.

Search By Title Only

Searches the Title for the word(s) you typed in. If you typed in more than one word, the search retrieves those documents with all of the words in the Title, but not necessarily in the order typed in.

Search By Document Number

If you know the Document number, you may enter it here. You may enter multiple document numbers separated by a space.

Query Tips

Order

Ascending — to sort from lower to higher (example: 1 to 100 and A to Z)
Descending — to sort from higher to lower (example: 100 to 1 and Z to A)

The default is to sort by Date, order Descending.
