| Refining your Query: |
Queries can be refined in two ways.
By default query is performed in full text mode.
It can be refined by limiting the fields to be searched via the pulldown menue on the right side to Reference No, Research Centre, Title of Collaborative Project,
Title of Project, Abstract of Collaborative Project or Description of Project.
Searching for a maximum of 10 search terms at the same time will limit the results, because query is executed AND-linked.
