- How do I find a product?
- Basic Search is a single-field search, and you can:
Search by Title
Enter all or part of the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find products that have all the words you entered in the title.
Search by Author/Artist
Enter all or part of the name you are looking for. You can enter a name, for example, as John Smith or Smith, John.
Search by Keyword
The keyword search looks for all the words you entered in every aspect of the products. For example, if you search on "triad," the search results page will display all products that contain "triad" in the title or artist name, and are about the "triad". However, keyword search may give you a long list of search results.
Search by ISBN / Manufacturer Part Number/ Barcode
Enter the ten-digit ISBN, full Manufacturer Part Number or barcode into the search field. This search will bring you the product with the exact match.
Power Search Tools
It is not necessary to use any special characters in formatting your search. However, you can use "+" to force a keyword that must be searched and "-" to exclude a keyword. If you enclose your search keywords in double quote, our search engine returns products for complete phrases. With (+), (-) and (""), you can perform your searches more quickly and easily.
