You may enter your search terms in different search boxes. Alternatively, you may enter all the search terms from one field in the same search box, and separate the terms with Boolean operators. You must, however, enter search terms from different fields, e.g. title or date, in separate search boxes. Use the Boolean drop-down list when combining separate search boxes.
Boolean operators: Combine words with "and", "or" and "not" (e.g. education not seta) or (e.g. education or schools). Please note the default is "and" (e.g. labour relations is the same as labour and relations). The proximity operator "with" (w) may be used in any of the fields. Type w between two search terms to specify that those items found contain both words, in the order typed, with no other words between them (e.g. labour w relations). Type w and a number (from 1 to 25) between two terms to specify that those items found contain both words, in the order typed, with no more than the specified number of words between them (e.g. land w3 act) to find items containing first land and then act with no more than three words between them, such as land rights act or land titles adjustment act.
