Performing a Search: The Basics
With the advanced HTML page, you have the additional options of selecting

construct the query. This is especially useful if you want to build a query that has

Make sure Java is enabled for your browser. Use the Preferences /Languages to
enable.
NOTE
There are two ways to obtain the guided search page:
•
Through the Search home page

Through the standard search query page
