Advanced Search allows users to create very specific searches.  Advanced Search combines up to multiple unique search words using Boolean Searching and allows users to choose which specific field will be searched.

Click on Advanced Search and then enter each keyword in a separate search box.  If you need additional search boxes, click Add a Row.

Click the down arrow to select a Boolean Operator, such as AND, OR, NOT. On the right side, pull down the menu to select a specific field to search for any of your up to three separate search terms.
