Keyword Search Tips

By default, stemming is applied to your search terms to automatically search for word variants.

Searching for Terminal operator will find results containing Terminal and operator, but they might be separated by other words, or, as a result of stemming the results might contain words with the same stem, such as operate, or operations.

Searching for “Terminal operator” will retrieve only results containing that exact phrase.

Boolean searches

You can use the Boolean operators AND, OR, NOT to include or exclude results from your search.

Cosco AND Maersk finds articles containing both Cosco and Maersk.
Cosco OR Maersk finds articles containing either Cosco or Maersk.
Cosco NOT Maersk finds articles containing Cosco, that do not also contain Maersk.
Cosco AND (Evergreen OR Maersk) finds results containing Evergreen and Cosco, Maersk and Cosco, or all three.

You may also use Boolean operators between separate quoted terms. If you want to find all articles containing the exact words “terminal” and “operator”, but not necessarily adjacent to each other or in that order, you can search for “terminal” AND “operator”.

Wildcard searches

Using an asterisk (*) at the beginning, middle or end of a word or part of a word will allow you to find matches that include additional letters, as represented by the asterisk.

Searching for ship* finds articles containing shipping, shipper, etc.

Searching for *building finds articles containing shipbuilding, newbuilding, etc.
