You'll be presented with the list of library items based on their relevancy to your search. Word order and letter case do not matter. NOTE: For searches with "AND", "OR", etc, use More Search Options.
To use this method, simply type a word, words, or phrase into the blank at the top of the screen. Then either push the Enter key on your keyboard, or click the GO! button. Other search options in the drop-down menu are "Title Starts With", "Title Contains", and "Author".
