Advanced Search Engine

The advanced search engine allows you to tailor your search criteria, and how the results are shown to you. By default, all the words you specify must be found in the documents returned. You can change this to match any of the words you enter by choosing Match: Any Keyword bellow. You can also extend your search to other types of documents by changing the Limit Search drop-down box. Most people would like to see the most relevant documents returned first, but you can also display the newest documents first by changing the Sort Results drop-down. A grid of thumbnails is usually prefered when searching for photographs, but you can change this to one photograph per row instead, and include an extract of text describing the document. Simply toggle the Display Results value to include these extracts.
