You can search for 975 documents from a certain year or from a range of years. Note that you do not 976 have to have any search terms -- you can search by date alone; and also that 977 you do not have to use dates in your search, if you do not type any dates in it 978 is just the same as if the date search didn't exist.<p> 979 980 <p>_iconblankbar_ 981 <a name=datesearch-howto> 982 <h3>How to use this feature:</h3> 983 <ul> 984 <li>To search for documents about a sinlge year:<p> 985 <ul> 986 <li>Type in any ordinary search terms as you normally would. 987 <li>Type the year you want into the "Start (or only) date" box. 988 <li>If your date is from before the common era (also known as before 989 Christ), choose the B.C.E option from the pulldown menu next to that 990 box. 991 <li>Begin your search as you ordinarily would. 992 </ul> 993 <p><li>To search for documents abou a time period or range of years:<p> 994 <ul> 995 <li>Type in any ordinary search terms as you normally would. 996 <li>Type the earlier date into the "Start (or only) date" box. 997 <li>Type the later date into the "End date" box. 998 <li>Select "B.C.E from the pulldown menu next to any date from before 999 the common era (also known as before Christ). 1000 <li>Begin your search as you ordinarily would. 1001 </ul> 1002 </ul><p> 1003 1004 <p>_iconblankbar_ 1005 <a name=datesearch-results> 1006 <h3>The way results of your search work</h3> 1007 1008 Generally speaking a search for documents about the year 1903 will not return documents that, say, reference books written in 1903, just documents about 1903. However, the way that the documents' dates are found, it will return documents that have a date range (for example 1899-1911) that includes 1903, and also those documents which, as part of their text name the century that 1903 is a part of (for example 20th century or twentieth century). This means that for some documents, the dates in your search will not actually appear in the document text. For a range search, all of this applies to every date in the range.<p> 1009 } 1010 957 1011 _textchangeprefs_ {Changing your preferences} 958 1012
