Help System: Keyword and Wildcard Searching

Note: This article is related to searching the Online Help System - not Lexis^®.

For information on searching Lexis, see Finding Variations of a Word.

Example Query	Description
`research`	Keyword search for documents containing the word `research`. Note: The search feature does not support stemming. A search for the word `alert` will only return the whole word and not partial matches such as `alerts` or `alerting`. To obtain results such as these you must use a wildcard, as shown below.
`research*`	Wildcard search for documents containing words that begin with the letters `research`. For example: researched researcher researches researching
`te?t`	Single character wildcard search for documents containing words that match the query, but with a single character replaced. For example: tent test text
`smartlinks~`	Fuzzy search for documents that contain words similar to `smartlinks` (e.g., `SmartLinx`).
