FamilySearch Digital Library advanced search < PAGE TITLE

The FamilySearch Digital Library normally finds items (books and periodicals) that contain all specified words. The words are not necessarily close to one another. Operators provide greater flexibility. The case of the words searched is not important, but operators must be uppercase.

Digital Library normally searches all the text of all books. Field operators restrict searching to matching titles, authors, subjects or other metadata fields. Specify the name of the field with a leading capital letter, a colon, and the word to search for. In addition to the other operators, the minus sign can be used with a field to return all books that do not have the word specified. Complex combinations of operators allow powerful searches.
