LimitersLimiters are extra controls you can place on
your search parameters to zero in on the
specific information you are looking for.
Be careful! You can place too many limits on a
search and end up with no results.

Quotations
Example: If a student enters King of the Hill into a search bar,
the system will look for the words king, of, the and hill
anywhere in any article, regardless of whether it is next to the
other words. If the student enters “King of the Hill” the
database will only retrieve instances of the phrase appearing as
a whole.

When quotations are placed around a group of words, the system
will only search for instances where those words appear in the same
word order.

Discovery (Search All)
Discovery – Also known as “Search All” is a system
that allows you to search for everything the library
offers (books, articles, images, films, maps, etc.) all
in one place.
While it looks like Google, it behaves differently!
