Library Search Tips
The library area of the FORRU website has its own dedicated search function, which enables 'full-text' searching across all publication titles, authors, abstracts & publishers, as well as attached documents (all text in attached (searchable) PDFs is included in search results).
Search terms can be combined with any of the available 'filters' in the left-side option panels. For example, in the search below the topic 'Forest Ecology' has been combined with the 'Forest Degradation' filter...
Forest Ecology and Forest Degradation
There are also several options for full-text search. Multiple search terms can be combined using AND/OR, and can be grouped with parenthesis.
For example:
...will find all publications that include the term 'Forests' along with either word 'Fire' or 'Seeds'.
To search for an exact phrase, surround the phrase with double quotes.
For example:
"Automated vegetation monitoring"
...will find all publications containing that exact phrase.
There are also a few special prefixes that can be added to the start of the search term or phrase. For example, to limit your search to publication titles only (i.e., none of the other text in the publication will be searched - only the title), add title: at the beginning of your search.
For example:
...will find all publications whose title contains 'Prunus cerasoides'.
