Full-text Search Hints

The search box on the PREMIS Implementation Registry's home page uses full-text searching of a MySQL database. This means that:

You cannot search for words that have fewer than four letters.
Certains common words are "stop words" and cannot be searched.
The default for multiple terms is a Boolean "AND".
You can use an asterisk (*) to truncate a word at the end (e.g., digit*).
Using quotes will search for that specific string of characters.

If you have difficulty finding a particular project, try a few different search strategies. If all else fails, feel free to contact us at ndmso@loc.gov.
