- If you enter several terms in the search window, the system automatically links them with an "and" operator.
- Capitalization and small letters are irrelevant.
- You can refine the search by setting a + (for "and") or a – (for "not") before the search term, e.g. linguistik +slavistik -romanistik.
- Phrase Search: With a phrase search you can search for word sequences. In order to do so, please enter the words in quotation marks (" ") in exact order, e.g. "thomas mann künstler philosoph".
- Searches that merely consist of stopwords (words that appear very often in texts, such as "the", "is", "der", "die") are being ignored in the Search. In order to search with active stopwords, please proceed with a phrase search, e.g. "to be or not to be" .
- Avoid searching very common like for example z.B. "der", "die" oder "das", they can cause performance-issues. Seach common words in phrases instead for example "to be or not to be".
