Searching and Fields
In this database you may choose the Terms and Connectors search method or the Natural Language search method.

With a Terms and Connectors search, you enter a query, which consists of key terms from your issue and connectors specifying the relationship between those terms. With Natural Language, you can retrieve documents by simply describing your issue in plain English.

For more information on using one of these search methods, see online Help.

Tip: Use a date restriction in your query to retrieve documents issued on a specific date or during a specific range of dates, e.g., da(aft mm/dd/yyyy & bef mm/dd/yyyy).

To make searching easier and more consistent across documents:
