Search Limits


For maximum efficacy of our database, make sure "all of these words" is selected in the search field window below. Also, rather than searching for an entire report title use key words and the last name of the lead author. Author's first names are not included in the database, only their initials.

Search Hints:

Boolean wildcards and truncation let you easily combine or eliminate search words, making your search simpler:

  • A percent sign (%) will match zero or more characters in that position (for example: “%floridana” would find “Metharpinia floridana” and “a[%]b” would find “a%b”).
  • An underscore (_) will match one character at that position anywhere in a word (for example: “Me_harpinia” would find Metharpinia or Mecharpinia and “a[_]b” would find “a_b”).
  • Brackets ([]) will match any single character within the specified range ([a-f]) or set ([abcdef]). Please note that “a[[]b” would find “a[b” and “a]b” would find “a]b”.
