Match exact word or phrase
Search for precise matches for the entire string of characters, including spaces, in the order given in the
Search box. For example, if you type
Power PDF
, the result will list only instances of
Power PDF
, when both words appear in the given order.
Match any of the words
Search for any instances that contain at least one of the words you type in the
Search box. For example, if you type
at all

all

at all
, or
all at

Match all of the words
Search for instances that contain all the words you type in the
Search box, but not necessarily in the same order. For example, if you type
at all
, the results include instances of
at all
and
all at

Boolean query
Search for terms or phrases you indicate using Boolean operations. Boolean Query can only be available in multiple-document searches, but not in single-document searches.
