Search Syntax Explained:

There are over 80 Journals, and 250 Tech Articles, all crammed with Macwester specific information, not to mention member's Posts and Forum content. It's a gold mine of information but how to get to those nuggets? You need a good serach engine, with multiple ways to combine terms to drill into that data. Here's how to use it:
  1. AND: Use AND to find documents containing both terms. E.g., seaforth AND wight shows results with both "seaforth" and "wight".
  2. OR: Use OR for documents with either term. E.g., seaforth OR wight fetches results with "seaforth", "wight", or both.
  3. NOT: Exclude a term with NOT. E.g., seaforth NOT wight finds results with "seaforth" but without "wight".

Quick Tips:

  • By default, terms without operators search as if they're connected with OR. So, seaforth wight equals seaforth OR wight.
  • Use parentheses to group terms: (seaforth OR wight) AND engine finds results with "engine" and either "seaforth" or "wight".
  • Ensure AND, OR, and NOT are capitalized to work as operators.
  • To search for exact phrases, enclose them in double quotes. E.g., "weather helm" will search for the phrase, not the individual words.
