How to Build Your Search:

A. In the below “Advanced Search,” use the drop down parameters under "Scope" - ALL words, ANY words, or EXACT word/phrase. Build the parameters row by row.


OR


B. To define your search using the basic one-line search, in the above textbox:

  • Use a plus to REQUIRE the word:
    +music +theory << must contain the words music and the word theory
  • Use quotes for a phrase:
    song "music theory" << anything with song or phrase "music theory"
    or "levin" < exact match, not levine
  • Use + and quotes to require the phrase:
    +"music theory" << must include phrase
  • Use a minus to EXCLUDE:
    +music -theory << must include music, but not theory
NOTE: When searching in Yiddish letters, this Lexicon should find the word(s) with or without diacritics (e.g., אברהם vs. אַבֿרהם) -- but when searching in other systems, if you can't find it one way, try searching the other way.
