If you choose "phrase" instead of "words", you can type in the phrase computer programming and the system will understand that you want only records that have the word computer NEXT to the word programming.
Lowercase letters will find matches of capitalized words also. For example, computer will find matches for computer, Computer and COMPUTER.
You may use the Boolean operators AND and OR in your search string. For example, you could type Lie AND (algebras OR groups) to retrieve all records having algebras or groups in them, together with the word Lie.
Use the * (or ?) character to find matches that contain portions of words. For example, gun* will retrieve gun, guns, gunners, gunnery, gunning, etc. In another example, *ology will retrieve anthropology, archaeology, psychology, etc. The * character may also be used to find variant spellings. For example, alumi*m will find both the American spelling, aluminum, and the British spelling, aluminium.
