Search scope: The search box performs a search only on the bibliographic citations for the journal articles (not on the content of the articles).

Use double quotation marks for exact phrases:
"early church"
"sermon on the mount"
Search for items containing all of the specified words:
"new testament" interpretation
(finds items containing both the phrase new testament and the word interpretation)
Alternatively, use AND explicitly:
"new testament" AND interpretation
Search for items containing any of the specified words/phrases:
covenant OR promise
"holy spirit" OR "holy ghost"
Search for words starting with the specified letters:
calvin*
(finds Calvin, Calvinism, Calvinist, Calvinistic, etc.)
Use - (minus sign) to exclude words:
missions -china
(finds items containing missions and not containing china)
Use title: to search only within article titles. Use author: to search only within author names.
title:grace
author:grace
Combine prefixes to search different fields simultaneously.
psalms author:wilson
(finds items where psalms occurs anywhere and the author name contains wilson)
Combine the techniques above to compose arbitrarily complex queries, using parentheses as needed:
("holy spirit" OR "holy ghost") AND (witness OR testimony)
(finds items containing either holy spirit or holy ghost while also containing either witness or testimony)

With the exception of AND and OR, which must be entered in all capital letters, the search engine ignores case. Capitalizing proper names is harmless but unnecessary.
The search engine ignores diacritic marks in search keywords. Searching for Andre returns the same results as searching for André.
The search engine ignores punctuation between search keywords. Searching for
Báez Camargo returns the same results as searching for Báez-Camargo.
In most cases, the search engine is aware of variant spellings. Searching for "authorised version" returns the same results as searching for "authorized version".
