This search will report back to you all of the articles in the database that contain the exact pattern of characters that you specify. In most cases this will be a simple literal string. The string can include blanks.

The search parameter is really a regular expression as defined in the PERL language. For example, if you enter (Israel|Egypt|Syria), any of these three words will trigger a match in the search. If you enter Israel.*Egypt a match will be triggered when the word "Israel" is followed by the word "Egypt", even if separated by any number of other characters. (More About Regular Expressions)

REGULAR STRING SEARCH    


This search will report back to you all of the articles in the database that contain possible alternative spellings of the sequence of characters that you supply. This facility is intended for names that may be transliterated according to various different systems. It is best to supply one word, for example, last name or part of it.

If you get no results try shortening your entry.
