Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Excerpt

Marine carbonate sedimentation (Bathurst, 1975; Scholle et al., 1983; Tucker and Wright, 1990; James and Kendall, 1992; Wright and Burchette, 1996) takes place in two environments, the benthic, neritic realm and the pelagic deep-sea realm (see Oceanic Sediments). Neritic carbonate sediments are “born” as precipitates or skeletons within the depositional environment. This attribute has profound consequences: (1) large structures such as platforms are produced entirely by sediments formed in place, they are self-generating and self-sustaining; (2) the temporal and spatial style of accumulation depends upon the nature of the sediments themselves; (3) sediment production can fill accommodation space and thus create shallowing-upward, autostratigraphic patterns; (4) grain size variations need not signal changes in hydraulic regime; and (5) sediment composition is fundamental in characterizing the depositional environment. …
