Search Method
Search screen
Simple search
- A title, an author's name, etc. can search all the items.
Advanced search
- Title, Author, Publication Year, etc. can search the items.
- Rearrangement of search results can be specified.
- Even when the number of search results is zero, it will be in the state where the search term remained in the Advanced search column.
The input of a search term.
The input of the search term in the alphabet.
- Since a capital letter/small letter is not distinguished, you may input whichever.
- Since full width/half width is not distinguished, you may input whichever.
- Since articles (a, the, etc.) and prepositions (at, in, etc.) are excluded from search, even if it inputs and does not carry out, the same result returns.
AND search
Like "A△AND△B" (the following △ is a space), that in which A, B, and both are contained is searched by using "AND" (half-width capital letter) for a search word (since a space is also substituted for "AND", the search word "A△B" may be sufficient).
- Ex: Sun△AND△Energy
"Sun" and "Energy"、The thing containing both of words is the target of search, and it can expect the result of having agreed for the purpose of search more. A result is the same even if it searches with "Sun△Energy".
OR search
Like "A△OR△B" (the following △ is a space), that in which A or B is contained is searched by using "OR" (half-width capital letter) for a search word.
- Ex: Environment△OR△Ecology
Not only the thing containing the word "Environment" but the thing containing only the word "Ecology" is the target of search, and it can expect few results of a leak more.
NOT search
Like "A△NOT△B" (the following △ is a space), B is excludable from the search results for A by using "NOT" (half-width capital letter) for a search word.
- Ex: Capitalism△NOT△Communism
The thing about "Communism" can be excepted from the search results for the word "Capitalism", and the result of having agreed for the purpose of search more can be expected.
Phrase search
If two or more search terms are surrounded and searched with double quotation marks("), it can search as an idiom. When you search in Japanese, enter the phrase without spaces or quotation marks. Please note a single double quotation mark can not work correctly in a searching.
- Ex: "production control"
If it refers only to production control, will perform the same search as production AND control, but If "production control" is inputted and it searches, it will refer to an idiom called production control.
