Current Search Method
Proximity search. This is the default method and returns matches when all the search terms (see Note) occur within the same text element (paragraph, bullet point, footnote, etc.); date ordered list.
Note. Enter a maximum of 5 words/phrases using English alphanumeric characters and, optionally, hyphens (but see below). Avoid the inclusion of hyphens where possible; where hyphens are used, also search for the corresponding non-hyphenated phrase. Whole words, rather than fragments, are matched, though a singular noun will match its plural and the infinitive of a verb its other tenses where these are formed regularly. Within phrases (which must be enclosed in double quotes), periods, commas, colons possessive apostrophes, and hyphens can be used in addition to alphanumeric characters if necessary. The use of any other symbols will generate an error. Outside phrases, common words (conjunctions, articles, prepositions, pronouns, etc.) are excluded from the search term list. In the context of this site asbestos is considered a common word.
