</button>
</dt>
<dd id="faqAnswer3" class="faq__answer">To search for statutes by keywords or phrases, use the following search techniques:<br />
<br />
<u>I. Using Search Operators</u><br />
<br />
<strong>AND</strong><br />
Use the operator AND when you are searching for two or more words that appear in the same record.<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>science AND technology</strong></li>
<li><strong>library AND appropriation</strong></li>
<li><strong>counselor AND licensure</strong></li>
</ul>
<strong>OR</strong><br />
Use the operator OR when you are searching for either one word or another that appears in a record.<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>pupil OR student</strong></li>
<li><strong>doctor OR physician</strong></li>
<li><strong>psychologist OR psychiatrist</strong></li>
</ul>
<strong>NOT</strong><br />
Use the operator NOT when you are searching for records that contain one search term, but not the other.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>insurance NOT automobile</strong></li>
</ul>
<u>II. Phrase Searching</u><br />
When searching for a phrase (two or more words which are to be found together), enclose the phrase in quotation marks.<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>"farmland preservation"</strong></li>
<li><strong>"water supply bond act"</strong></li>
<li><strong>"alternative fuel"</strong></li>
</ul>
<u>III. Wildcard Searching</u><br />
There are two wildcard characters: ? and *.<br />
Use the question mark (?) when searching for a single character wildcard.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>wom?n</strong> - to search for "woman" or "women"</li>
</ul>
Use the asterisk (*) when searching for multiple character wildcards.<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>educ*</strong> - to search for "educate," "educates," "education," "educable," "educator," "educational," etc.</li>
<li><strong>mandat*</strong> - to search for "mandate," "mandates," "mandatory," "mandated"</li>
<li><strong>physician*</strong> - to search for "physician" or "physicians"</li>
</ul>
<u>IV. Proximity Searches</u><br />
When searching for words that must appear within a certain number of terms of each other.<br />
Example:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>"Senate Assembly"/5</strong> - to retrieve records that have the words "Senate" and "Assembly" within 5 terms of each other</li>
</ul>
