Names

This works the same as the simple search on name, except you can search multiple names by putting one on each line.
For searches of more than 100 names you need to put in the exact full name, and can not use wild cards.

by Author

Reference citation

This is a search on the full reference citation, e.g. 'Adams, L.G., George, A.S., (1987) Phylidraceae. Flora of Australia. 45'
You will get suggestions as you type in your query, they tell you what your query will return, and you can select one for an exact match.
The query is not case sensitive.
This search uses an automatic wild card at the begining and end of the query to match all authors and volumes, unless you use a quoted search.
The query is an ordered set of search terms, so 'flora australia' will match 'Flora of Australia', 'Flora of south-east Australia' and and others.
Putting double quotes around your entire query will cause it to be matched exactly (except case). e.g. "%Flora of South Australia" will match everything that ends in 'Flora of South Australia' (note the % wild card at the begining).
You can use a % as a wild card inside the search query e.g.flor% to match flore, flora, florae, florida etc.
You can use a + in place of a space to make the space match exactly. e.g. 'flora+of+australia.+28' will match everything in Flora of Australia volume 28 (1996)
