Search tips

Simple search: Enter one or more keywords. To generate a hit all words must appear in the record.

Truncation: Use asterisk (*) to find words with a varying ending or beginning. Searching for rose* will find rosebud, rosebush, roseship, rosemary etc. Searching for *house will find greenhouse, dollhouse and steakhouse etc.

Exact phrases: Use quotation marks ('' '') when searching for exact phrases. E.g. a search for ''Swedish kings'' will generate hits where the words appear together and in that particular order.

Wildcard (character): Use question mark (?) when searching for spelling variations of a word. The question mark is used to replace any single character. E.g. a search for wom?n will find both woman and women.

Exclude a word: Use minus sign (-) to exclude a search word. E.g. a search for Uppsala – castle will find all records containing the word Uppsala but not the records which at the same time contain the word castle.
