Seeing Relevance Searching Work

Just put in the KEYWORDS you want to search. The system will automatically search multiple word endings so there is no need to use TRUNCATION.   Plus (+) in front of a word means that the word must be present. If you don't use a +,  the search will find ARTICLES that mention either of the words, although it should list those containing both words first. Later on, you can experiment in the live DATABASE to see if you prefer this method of searching.
