Search Tips: You may need to refine your search to find what you want.
Select the Year if you know it. Select Use Boolean Logic. This is a powerful feature. Boolean expressions need to be 'correct' in order for the search system to use them. Format of correct expressions are: cat and dog, cat not dog, cat or (dog not nose). Note that the operator not has the meaning of 'without'. You can put a phrase in quotations to find only exactly that: i.e., "Coach Gary Kehler"
Examples (generated Dec. 23, 2007)
With Use Boolean Logic
Search: "Gary Kehler" = 710 matches
Search: "Coach Gary Kehler" = 73 matches
Search: "Gary Kehler" not stadium = 207 matches
Search: Gary and Kehler = 919 matches
Search: Gary and Kehler not stadium = 299 matches
Search: Coach and Gary and Kehler not stadium = 179 matches
Search: Coach and Gary and Kehler = 675 matches
With Use All Keywords
Search: Gary Kehler = 919 matches
With Use Any Keyword
Search: Gary Kehler = 2,913 matches.

Sometimes middle names cause confusion. Boolean Searching for "Adrian Walsh" may not find "Adrian Thomas Walsh" but searching for "Adrian" and "Walsh" will find "Adrian Thomas Walsh" (and perhaps many other things as well).

Boolean is a set of values that helps determine if something is true or false. In simpler terms, it allows users to use the words "AND", "OR", "NOT" to narrow down search results.
The following is list of Boolean expressions that may be used for advanced searching:
AND
Type the word AND between two words. This will search for articles that contain both "word1" AND "word2" somewhere on the page. If you type a sequence of words, it is the same as if you had typed AND between each word. Examples:
1. word1 AND word2
2. word1 AND word2 AND word3
3. word1 word2 word3
OR
Type the word OR between two words that you want to search for. This will search for articles that contain either "word1" or "word2," but not both words together on the same page.
1. word1 OR word2 Example: Vital records OR Civil registration
2. word3 OR word4 Example: Census OR Tax
NOT
The search function uses NOT for excluding words from your search. Use NOT between two words to search for articles that contain "word1" but do not contain "word2"
1. word1 NOT word2 Example: England NOT London
Parenthesis
You can control the search with parenthetical expressions by using the parenthesis.
1. (word1 AND (word2 OR word3)) Example: (German AND Emigration) OR birth)) This would produce results for pages with content that includes German and Emigration or only birth.
Phrase Search
Text with double quotes implies a phrase search. Use this type of search when you need to find an article that includes the exact phrase you are looking for. Example:
1. "New York City"
2. "California birth records"
3. "Family History Library"
Mixing Advanced Features
All the Boolean search features can be mixed together for added strength in searching for articles. Examples:
1. (word1 AND (word2 OR "phrase search"))
