Basic Search Help

Basic search will search for up to four (4) search terms that you specify. If you enter more than four terms, basic search will only search for the first four terms you entered.

The search engine is not case sensitive, and extra spaces and punctuation (including hyphens) are ignored. If you wish to search for a hyphenated term—for example, “Greco-Roman”—you must enter “Greco” and “Roman” as separate terms. Otherwise, the search engine will search for “GrecoRoman.”

Basic search will automatically connect all terms you enter with the word “AND.” This means the search will find only those documents that contain all of the words you specify. For example, if you enter:

“neighborhood Minneapolis poverty urban”

only documents that contain the words neighborhood AND Minneapolis AND poverty AND urban will be displayed.

Basic search will search in the author, title, abstract, and keywords (view a list of keywords) fields for the terms you enter. It will search for all publications regardless of publication date, type, or availability from CURA. For more refined searches, use advanced search.

TIP: If you are searching for a publication from a specific CURA program such as NPCR, CAP, Communiversity, or FIRP, simply use these terms as one of your search terms.
