Search hints:
- Search is case- and accent- insensitive (e.g., Flute, flute and flûte return the same results).
- Stop words are ignored.
- The AND boolean is implicit unless no other boolean is specified: only the records containing all search terms will be returned (e.g., carter AND messiaen and carter messiaen will return the same results).
- The OR boolean will return the records containing at least one of the terms it connects (e.g., openmusic OR "open music").
- Parentheses allow for grouping creating more complex search expressions (e.g., elliott carter AND (quartet OR quatuor)).
- To search for a phrase, enclose it in double-quotes (e.g., "open music").
- A term can be excluded by preceding it with a (-) sign or with NOT (e.g., saariaho AND (vio* OU cello) NOT flute searches for violon, viola, violoncelle, cello... and excludes results containing flute or flûte).
- The asterisk * replaces any group of letters (e.g., stravinsk* searches for all records containing stravinski, stravinskij, stravinsky... Other example: modele* physique* searches for modèle physique or modèles physiques).
