Search Tips

The Basic Search is the default search for the Sofia Discovery tool homepage.

To retrieve search results for a word with multiple endings, use the root with an asterix; for example, vote* will retrieve results related to vote, votes, and voting.
To search an exact phrase, use quotation marks; for example, "Liberal party of Canada".
To narrow a broad topic, use AND between keywords; for example, elections AND Canada.
To broaden a research topic, use OR to search for terms that denote similar concepts; for example, (voting OR elections) AND Canada.
