Simple search

• Enter multiple search words separated by spaces - for example, "inflationary effect" will return documents containing both the word "inflationary" and the word "effect"
• Wildcards "?" (single character) and "*" (string of characters) can be used - for example, "inflatio* ?ffect" will return documents containing, for instance, one of the words "inflation", "inflationary" and "inflation-growth" as well as one of the words "effect" and "affect"
• The "-" operator can be used - for example, "inflationary -effect" will return documents which contain the word "inflationary" but do not contain the word "effect"
• The logical operators AND and OR can be used - for example, "inflationary OR effect" will return documents which contain either the word "inflationary" or the word "effect"
• More complex search phrases can be created using brackets - for example, "(inflationary OR effect) AND rates"
