IndexCat -- Combine Search Terms


Question:  How can I combine terms in searches in IndexCat?


Answer:

  1. Using Quick Search:
    1. Type your search terms. Results include items with term1 and term2, term1 only, or term2 only.
    2. Put your search terms in double quotes "term1 term2" for a phrase search.
  2. Using Advanced Search: use Boolean connectors for exact relationships
