Searching MELVYL: Double Quotation Marks " "

Scope

• Double quotation marks " " can be used in search or browse requests to be sure that the MELVYL system treats the enclosed words as words to be searched, not as command words.
• Quotation marks must always be used in pairs.
• Example searches:
  • find xt aldous huxley "at" UCLA

    find xt "aldous huxley at UCLA"

  • Both of above techniques prevents the MELVYL search process from limiting the search to books with the title "Aldous Huxley" that are in the UCLA library. Instead they find the "Aldous Huxley at UCLA" monograph.
    
• Quotation marks also may be used override the automatic truncation in exact index searches.
• Example searches:
  • find xt internet
    • finds all books that begin with the word "Internet" but

    find xt "internet"

    • finds the one book, "The Internet."
