Search

The search bar is prominently featured on the home page of  Advanced. Users can type their search term here or use the advanced search options- see more about those here.

A search box is also always available in the upper left-hand corner of Advanced, indicated by the magnifying glass icon. Users can enter a word or phrase in the search box, then choose search.

The basic search will also search for different tenses and plurals of the term entered. For example, a search for "book" will retrieve the articles that contain the words "book," "books," or both. The results of the search could include:

• Encyclopedia articles

• Maps
• Historical maps
• Tables
