Search type	How it's done	Examples
Full-text keyword search	Just type in the keywords you want to use. To look for alternate forms of keywords, use the * (asterisk) operator. All keywords separated by spaces will be required to appear in the results. They will be matched against all content fields in the database if no specific content fields are provided (see below). To search for a specific phrase, enclose it in double quotes.	gaussian process regression Kepler exoplanet* (matches exoplanet, exoplanets, exoplanetary) "M dwarf" flar*
Boolean operators	Use NOT keyword to make sure keyword doesn't show up in the results. Use keyword1 OR keyword2 to match either keyword1 or keyword2. Use keyword1 AND keyword2 to make sure both or all keywords show up in the results. You can use parentheses to specify the operator precedence.	Kepler NOT transit* (K2 OR Gaia) AND supernova*

Full-text keyword search

gaussian process regression
Kepler exoplanet*
(matches exoplanet, exoplanets, exoplanetary)
"M dwarf" flar*

Boolean operators

Use NOT keyword to make sure keyword doesn't show up in the results. Use keyword1 OR keyword2 to match either keyword1 or keyword2. Use keyword1 AND keyword2 to make sure both or all keywords show up in the results. You can use parentheses to specify the operator precedence.

Kepler NOT transit*
(K2 OR Gaia) AND supernova*

Author content field	Use authors:author_name. All of the rules above for Booleans and multiple matching work here too (except for exact phrases in double quotes).	authors:Lupton authors:Gunn NOT SDSS authors:Bakos NOT planet*
Title content field	Use title:keyword to search for keyword in title. All of the rules above for Booleans and multiple matching work here too (except for exact phrases in double quotes).	title:Gaia authors:Eyer transients title:LSST authors:Juric
Abstract content field	Use abstract:keyword to search for keyword in the article abstract. All of the rules above for Booleans and multiple matching work here too (except for exact phrases in double quotes). The * operator will be particularly useful here.	abstract:transient* title:PTF NOT title:supernova*
arXiv ID content field	Type in an arXiv ID (without the 'arXiv:' prefix) to look up the paper: arxiv_id:XXXX.YYYY	arxiv_id:1601.05121
Article type content field	Use either article_type:astronomy or article_type:crosslists to restrict results to the respective listings.	abstract:plasma title:sun article_type:astronomy
