Trove Tuesday - search Tips part 2

 A useful addition to your search toolbox in Trove is the Near search, using the tilde key.

~ (near)

•        Get results where keywords are found near each other, setting the 'distance' between your keywords.

–       “John Argent”~2

–       This example will give you results with the keywords ‘John' and ‘Argent' within two words of each other. 

–       This single search will cover “John Argent”, “John T. Argent”, “John Thompson Argent”, “Argent, John”, “Argent, Mr John”, etc.

–       It will also include matches with a different middle name or initial, increasing irrelevant matches

•        Note: There should be no space between the tilde ~ and the phrase.

Another great way to maximise useful search results in Trove.
