A Beka Book's search engine supports a number of different methods for performing searches:
Simply describe the information that you want. For example, history quizzes.
Put quotation marks around a specific phrase that you want to single out. For example, "grade: 10" history.
List important keywords relevant to your search topic. For example, history geography government.
Refine a keyword search using conditional symbols.
Symbol Meaning Action & AND Finds only documents containing all of the specific words or phrases. For example, test & history finds documents with both the word "test" and the word "history." | OR Finds documents containing at least one of the specified words or phrases. For example, test | quiz finds documents containing either "test" or "quiz." The found documents could contain both words, but do not have to. ! AND NOT Excludes documents containing the specific word or phrase. For example, history ! geography finds documents containing "history" but not containing "geography." As with the & and | symbols, ! must appear between two terms. [ ] Grouping Used to group portions of conditional queries together for more complicated queries. For example, history & [test | quiz] finds documents containing "history" and either "test" or "quiz."
