 The NRC-Adams Licensing Support Network Library how-to video series performing a simple content search with search terms. There are several simple content searches that will locate relevant documents by scanning the text of all 3.7 million records in the LSN library. For example, to search for records related to the desert tortoise, a threatened species near Yucca Mountain, select the box labeled specify search terms and type in desert tortoise. As the word desert is typed in, the computer displays dynamic search options such as desert tortoise, desert rock and desert soils, as well as the estimated number of records that the search will find. This helps you choose the best search words. When you finish typing in desert tortoise, activate the search by clicking on the magnifying glass icon. The search returned over 11,000 records which includes all records that contain both words somewhere in their text. The results section highlights the search terms you used. If you insert the word or in caps between desert tortoise, the search expands to include records that have either word in them, which produces many more results. Putting quotation marks around desert tortoise limits the results to only those records where the words appear right next to each other. Finally, a search can exclude records containing certain words by using a minus sign. For example, you can exclude from the desert tortoise search any document that mentions the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by typing desert tortoise space minus NRC. Having completed several searches, you can switch between them with the forward and back buttons in the upper left corner.
