Fill in as much as you'd like. Using more than one line will narrow the
search. If you choose Yes for "Words adjacent," you can type in the phrase
european painting and the system will retrieve only those records that have the word european NEXT to the word painting.
-owercase letters will find matches of capitalized words also. For example,
w search for furniture will find matches for furniture, Furniture
wnd FURNITURE.
Boolean AND is assumed between words. You may use the Boolean operators AND,
OR and NOT in your search string. For example, you could type "(Surrealist OR Surrealism)
AND Dali" or "(Surrealist OR Surrealism) NOT Dali"
Use the ? character to find matches that contain portions
of words. For example, Brueg? will retrieve Bruegel and Brueghel
The ? character may also be used to find variant spellings. For example,
arm?r will find both the American spelling armor and the British
spelling armour.
If you're searching for an auction catalog and know the date of sale enter it in the
format YYYYMMDD in the search box and choose "auction date" as the field to search.
A catalog with a sale date of April 11, 1989 will be entered as 19890411. If you're
unsure of the exact date you can use truncation. For example, a search on 200602? will
retrieve all sales held in February of 2006. You can also search auction catalog keywords
by entering the keywords in the search box and choosing "auction catalogs" in the "Location"
drop-down menu.
