Entering search terms
It is not necessary to be case-specific or pay attention to foreign language
character accents e.g. 'andre' will find 'André'; 'durer' will find 'Dürer'.
To search for a phrase, surround it with double quotation marks, e.g. "keyed
trumpet".
Use wildcards/special characters:
 |

finds theater and theatre, Rachmaninoff!
finds Rachmaninoff, Rachmaninov and Rakhmaninov. |

? matches any single character (Sm?th
will find Smith and Smyth). |
|
* matches any number of characters (cor*
will find cor, cornet, cornett, cornon, cornophone and cornu). |
