Preventing the system from retrieving alternate endings

In TITLE, SUBJECT, or AUTHOR searches, you may use | to restrict retrieval to the specific term you enter (to prevent the system from searching the term as a root word).

For example: stranger|
retrieves the title Stranger, but not Stranger among us, Stranger in the land, Strangers, etc.

In WORDS searches, the | is not necessary, because the system automatically searches just the word you specify.

For example: stranger
retrieves just "stranger" in a WORDS search.
