How
To Search: Type words into the entry box that you want to
search for, then click [Search].
NOTE:
selections highlighted in
[ COLOUR ] show
only after first search,
in the new window, due to space constraints on the top of pages.
[
Find ANY ] is the usual default from
main pages.
- Any
Word:
-
Just type
one or more words to find any of the words.
[ Find ANY ] is the usual default.
-
All
Words:
-
Type more
than one word and select [ Find ALL ]
to find all of the words.
Or you can use Booleans (see
below).
-
Exact
Phrase: "..."
-
You can
search for exact phrases by surrounding them in double quotes.
Or you can just type the words and select [
Find EXACT phrase ]. Punctuation must be the same to
be found between words, for example "Smith, John"
-
Boolean
Operators: + -
-
Use + in
front of each word or a quoted phrase that you require.
Use -
in front of each word that you want to exclude.
-
Boolean
Expressions: AND OR NOT ( )
-
Use AND,
OR, NOT, (, and ) to form a Boolean expression. AND requires, OR
allows, NOT excludes.
Use double quotes to protect the words
"and", "or", or "not" in a phrase. -
NOTES:
-
A) A
search for bank + shoal in Shakespeare will display the
following, *** below, among other items found.
-
B) A
search for “bank and shoal” is likely to reduce the
number of successes to only those from Macbeth, or quotations
derived from the play.
-
C) The
red highlighted bank and shoal,
below, is an extract from the relevant lines in the play. It is
the only opportunity at this time, to see the full search
result in a smaller context of the target. Once you select
the link in blue below, the search will take you to the actual
play at the top of page one. Therefore to see the result in a
larger context, you will need to perform another search in the
windows, or other, browser. TIP, if you wish to go directly to
the scene and line of the play, within the whole play, you may
wish to copy (highlight
and CTRL C) a set of words
from the results page and then paste
that precise set of words into the browser find option.
(Windows > edit > Find (on
This Page)... CTRL+F) to bring the
result up in a full page of text from the play. All the
Shakespeare plays may be highlighted and copied from our website
to your own computer free of charge. Equally for personal use
only, text or files and images copyright by Questor © may
be copied, but NOT resold, publicised, plagiarised or reproduced
