2.7 Searching for Any Part of Title

We want to browse through all the titles in which the word "Sphinx" occurs, as we are looking for a reference concerning an ancient sphinx in Siphnos, the author and publishing body of which we have forgotten. To do this we choose "Searching for Any Part of Title" and start the option with the Return key.
The program asks us first which name we want to give the result. In this case this is obviously "Sphinx". After we have confirmed entry by pressing Return, a narrow window will open on the screen asking us first to enter the search term "sphinx". After we have confirmed entry with Return, the program will allow us to make three specifications for a search for any part of the title, which appear as a small menu window in the top right-hand corner of the screen (specifications):

exact spelling

ignore capitals
ignore capitals and accents
abort

In its search we want the program to ignore the use of upper and lower case letters as well as any accents, so we will move the cursor to "Ignore capitals and accents" and press Return.
After a few seconds the first title with the word "Sphinx" will appear. As this is not the result we are looking for, we press Return to continue the search. We may have to repeat this procedure some times until we have obtained the desired result:

 

Sheedy, K.A.

An archaic Sphinx from Siphnos.-
BSA 83 (1988), 363-373, Abb. Taf.

 

 
 
 
 
 
* clasif.: 2 data sheet(s): 1

If we want to save the search result, we must now press SHIFT + RETURN. The search normally ends when all titles have been checked.
To quit our search for any part of a title before the normal end of the search, press Escape key ("ESC"). The result appears as "Sphinx 1" in the Result List in the righthand half of the screen.
