ADVANCED SEARCH SYNTAX<br />
The basic syntax for the Advanced Search is<br />

The IN operator and SEARCHFIELD must be in uppercase. Multiple search terms and fields can be<br />
combined using parentheses. For example:<br />

Search terms cannot be combined like this: (solar OR cells OR silicon) IN TI<br />
Use solar IN TI OR cells IN TI OR silicon IN TI.<br />
