word word word Words in this search. e.g.: howard england football will result in images that contain either howard or england or football in the caption to be displayed. The caption that contains all three words will have the highest ranking.
"word word"
Putting quote marks (" ") at the beginning and end of the words will result in a search for the exact matching phrase. e.g.: "howard england" will display all images that contain the phrase "howard england" in the caption.
*word*
Wildcard matching. The asterisk (*) can be on either side of the word - or both - or even in the middle of the word.
e.g.: *levi* will result in images containing words in the caption that contain the letters levi, say Levi, television etc.
Paul* will result in images containing Paul or Pauline, etc.
Cor*tion will result in images containing Correction, Correlation, etc.
+word
The plus sign (+) in front of a word indicates that word is required in the search. e.g.: howard +england will result in all images that contain the word england, and some of them may contain howard. (Note: a space is required between the first word, in this case howard, and the '+' command. There should be no space between the '+' and the proceeding word, in this case england.) If both words MUST exist in your search, use +howard +england.
-word
The minus sign (-) indicates that the word should not be found in the search. e.g.: howard -england will result in all documents that contain the word howard but not england. (Note: a space is required between the first word, in this case howard, and the '-' command. There should be no space between the '-' and the excluded word, in this case england.)
Refine Search
The refine search function allows you to home in on the pictures you are looking for. For example, if you want to find pictures that fits the criteria "crows fans invade 1997 afl grand final", use the Fast Search form to enter the first set of words, say +afl +grand +final, and click on the Search button. If the search result returns more pictures than you want, click on the word 'Refine Search' alongside any picture. This brings up the Refine Search form: type in your next likely criteria, say crows. Follow the same steps until you find the exact matches.
Alternatively, you can type +afl +grand +final +crows in the Fast Search form for the same result.

Search Text:
Advanced Search accepts "phrases" separated by "operators" for the search text.

"Phrases" means that every word you type is considered to be next to each other.

e.g. John Howard in Basic Search will return every documents with John or Howard whereas Advanced Search will only return documents with John Howard appearing together.

The basic "boolean operators" in Advanced Search are: AND, OR, NOT.

Brackets can be used to group part of the search text together. e.g. casino AND (melbourne OR sydney) will bring up documents about casinos in Sydney or Melbourne.

Range Fields:
The Date field has a From and To entry.
You do not need to use both ends of a range, but only the one you see fit.

e.g. You can specify only the From entry of the Date field to call up documents on or after that date.

Note that the dates are in Australian format, e.g. 30/9/1998.
