Truncation Searching

Truncation searching allows you to retrieve records containing variations on a search term. To execute a truncation search, type the first few letters (stem) of the keyword followed by an asterisk (*).

This search would retrieve entries for all records containing the words: police, policies, policing, policy, policyholders etc.

When executing a phrase truncation search, only the final word in the phrase can be truncated.
