Basic Search Scope

Bob Soule

What is the default scope for a basic search when using multiple search words? Like when you search for ??????? AND ?????? entire library.

Is it a sentence, an article?

An "article" is the scope but it does not always correspond to a fixed division like chapter or topic. In some resources it could be a paragraph. If you want to place your own bounds on a Basic Search then use??????? WITHIN 10 words ?????? 

??????? NEAR ??????  is also effective but the scope of NEAR is not as well defined.
