Searching Tips

A few tips on searching in Sirsi Workflows:

-Substitution: Use the ? symbol to substitute a missing character. For example: “wom?n” will pull “woman” or “women.” The same goes for user searches such as “Darr?n” will pull “Darren” or “Darrin”

-Truncation: The $ symbol is used to truncate search terms. When truncated words produce too many variations, a partial list is retrieved. For example, “Lil$” will pull up “Lily” or “Lili” or “Lilie”
