Search Options
Your form has three search options: Any, All, and Boolean.
 | Any will return results for pages which have any of the listed
words on it. FOr example, selecting "Any" and then
searching for Moses Smith will return results for any page which
contains the word Moses OR the word Smith.
| All returns results for pages which contain every word input
into the search form. A search using "All" and Moses
Smith will show only those pages which contain the words Moses
AND smith.
Note: This does not necessarily mean
that the name Moses Smith will be on the page showing hits. A
page containing the names Moses Jones and William Smith will
show up as a "hit" because it contains both words,
Moses AND Smith, though not necessarily in close proximity to
each other
| A boolean search allows for more complex searching. Examples
of Boolean searches:
 | James and Smith: Gives pages which contain both Moses and
Smith (much like the "All" search)
| Moses or Smith: Gives pages which contain the word Moses
or the word Smith (much like the "Any" search)
| Moses not Smith: Gives pages which contain the word Moses
BUT NOT the word Smith
| Boolean searches also allow grouping using parentheses:
 | (Moses and Smith) or (William and Dennett): pages will contain
either Moses and Smith or William and Dennett, but not necessarily
both
| (Moses and Smith) and (William and Dennett): pages must contain
Moses, Smith, William, and Dennett to be returned as a "hit"
| (Moses not Smith) or (William or Dennett): pages will contain
Moses but not the word Smith OR they will contain the words William
or Dennett
