Resources > LEB Search Tips

LEB search engine is designed to offer a simple but powerful search tool for the �Lebanese Corner� database. Following are some tips that help you retrieve best results:

Type a keyword and specify in which field to search.

	Keywords are searched as embedded in the selected field. So when you search for action, you also retrieve interaction, interactions, actions, etc.
	Automatic external truncation is applied, to disable this leave a blank space after the keyword. So to retrieve only the word action but not also actions, you should leave an empty space after action before clicking on "Search LEB".
	Search is case insensitive, so you get the same result whether you search Action or action or ACTION.
	To search for an author, type in the family name followed by a comma, then leave one space and follow with the initial or the full first name. So, to search for Fuad Haddad, type Haddad, F and then select "Author" from the drop-down menu.
	You can limit the search by year, or document type; and you can sort by a specific field.
	From the "Search Results" screen you may select records of interest and then e-mail, print, or save only those selected items.
