There are several ways to search the website:

Selecting or deselecting these boxes will narrow or expand your search. You may search particular dates, like 1942, and may use English or German words.
- Enter one or more words to find documents that contain all you search words.
- Example: international law retrieves every document that contains both the word international AND the word law anywhere in the document
- Use the vertical bar | between your search words to find documents that contain any one of those words
- Example: international | law retrieves every document that contains either the word international OR the word law anywhere in the document
- To search for an exact phrase, use "quotation marks" around the phrase
- Example: "international law" retrieves every document with that exact phrase
After you have run a search, you can narrow your results by using the filters on the left of the screen.
