Bibliographic Searching in order to limit a search by fields or to retrieve selected documents. Note: Turn on Caps Lock to search regardless of accentuation and realize that all apostrophes must be followed by a space (e.g., l' amour).
Author: (e.g., Descartes)
Title: (e.g., Méditations)
Date: (e.g., 1835-1860 or 1641)
Note: The vertical line ( | ) is the OR operator (e.g., fripon|coquin or grande|noble famille). For pattern matching one may employ wildcard characters (e.g., pythago.* retrieves Pythagoras, Pythagorisme, pythagoricienne, etc.). Accented characters may be represented by two characters (e.g.,e\=è) or uppercase letters.

Database-Specific Searching Tips

Bibliographic Searching:
Author and Title: Many titles and their authors' names contain accented characters and must be entered as such; however, in order to enter words without having to pay attention to accents simply turn on Caps Lock and type in uppercase. In bibliographic searches, punctuation and spacing must match exactly that in the bibliography. Please note that a space must be entered after an apostrophe (e.g., d' amour).
Date: Texts in the database range in date from 1820 to 1910.

Data-Entry Idiosyncrasies:
Several data errors have been detected in some databases either from typesetting errors in the original source or from rekeying the documents. One should avoid making arguments from silence. In particular, look out for the transposition of letters or the doubling of letters.

Punctuation and Full-Text Searching:
Hyphens: Hyphens act as word separators. Thus, treat hyphenated expressions as separate words excluding the hyphen (e.g., if searching for soixante-cinq, type in soixante cinq.)
Apostrophes: One must include apostrophes when searching words with apostrophes and one must insert a space after apostrophes since in this database apostrophes act as word separators (e.g., only by typing d' Oscar or eyebrow' s will one find d'Oscar or eyebrow's).
Ampersands: The ampersand (&) is not a searchable character. Avoid Phrase Searches where an ampersand may be used as a conjunction.

Formatting and Display:
Notes: There are no linked notes in the database.
Images: There are no images in this database.
