The search button will search the full text of books for hits. You may specify words or phrases alone (enclosed in quotation marks), or group them in Boolean combinations. The search engine is not case sensitive. Here are some examples:

• java JAR files: Word proximity search where the content of words closest together is ranked higher in the search.
• “java JAR files”: An exact phrase search where content must match the phrase exactly in order to appear in the search results.
• java and (JAR or files): A Boolean expression. Boolean operators are AND, OR, NOT.
• “JAR files” near beans: A proximity expression where the search will rank content containing the exact phrase with the word nearby higher.
• Database perf*: A word truncated expression where * stands for the wildcard character.
