Searching the KU Medical Center Online Catalog

Search Builder 

This search option attempts to "guide" you through the process of combining different search terms.  You may search for the terms in any field or you may specify which fields you wish to search, such as author name and title word.  It allows you to specify what field a word or words should appear in and helps you construct a search that combines several individual searches.

To perform a Builder search:

1. Type in the search term(s) you want to find in the Search For  free text field. (Punctuation, case, and word order are ignored.) Your search terms are automatically truncated on the right, so you don't need to use a question mark (?) for truncation.
2. Default search criteria can be modified for your search:
• Select from the Search In drop-down list whether you want to search for all the search terms, any of the search terms, or the search terms as a phrase.
• Select which Boolean operator you want applied to the next search term(s): AND, OR, or NOT.
• Narrow your search by further limiting by entering information in the following free text fields and selecting options and boolean operators from the drop down menu as needed.
3. Click the Limits icon if you want to limit your keyword seach based on other criteria.

Click the Search button to begin your search. Click the Reset button to clear the search page.
