Search Help Information

How does the Assyrian History search engine work, I'm trying to find specific information?

All the search engines on this website follow the same procedures as Altavista's website.  Here are some notes to help you find exactly what your looking for:

Type keywords (and optionally, quotation marks and the symbols: + - or and) related to what you are looking for in the search box. 
The last two search methods shown below are recommended and ensure the best possible search results.

 For example, typing in...  

mona lisa - Finds documents that contain either mona or lisa or any capitalized variant (Mona, MONA, liSA, Lisa). Atour ranks the results to show first the documents containing both words, close together, and near the top of the document.

Mona Lisa - Finds documents that have either Mona or Lisa but not any other capitalized variation. When you use a capitalized word, Atour assumes that you are only interested in an exact match.

"mona lisa" - Finds documents that have the two words found right next to each other. Placing quotation marks around any series of words turns them into a phrase and tells Atour that you are only interested in documents that have the words in this specific order.

mona and lisa and painting - Finds documents that have all three of your keywords anywhere on the page, mona lisa painting.
