Enter a term in the search box, and the system will browse all the fields where you entry term appears. 2/ Advanced search The advanced search allows you to search for photos which meet several criteria. If you click on the down arrow to the right of each field, you will see a list of terms which can be used for searching. 3/ Search through Highlights The Highlights provide another way of viewing images using selected criteria.

5 3. Tips for the research Boolean search It is possible to refine or to broaden your search, using operators such as AND, OR and NOT. If you type several words with no operators, the search considers that the operator is AND by default. Ex: hospital patient : will display a photo of a patient in a hospital. hospital OR patient : will display all photos of hospitals, and all photos with patients. hospital NOT patient : will display photos of hospitals without patients. Wildcard search This sign * is the wildcard character. It replaces any sign and any number of signs as well. It can be helpful when you are not sure of the spelling of a term. Ex: - *lderly (beginning of the keyword) - dis*se (middle of the keyword) - handwash* (at the end of the keyword) Exact phrases You can search exact phrases by using (quotation marks). Ex: blood sample 3
