This search page scans records from an Inside Sesame index database to help you find what you're looking for in the current or back issues.

The search method (except for*) is: meets ALL restrictions.

For all text fields, the search engine uses a CONTAINS operator. For example, searching for print is like using  ..print..  and will find all occurrences of print, printing, printstring(), misprint, overprinted, etc.

TIP — Search on the singular or simpler form of the term. A search on Report will find occurrences of Reports, but Reports won't find Report. Likewise, macro will find @Macro, but @Macro won't find macro. Searching on Print will find Printing, but not vice versa.

Do NOT use special search symbols such as .. or > or the like, or multiple search parameters such as fixed; file.

Searching is case-insensitive: @Add@add, @ADD are all the same.

*Universal Search searches ALL fields, using a CONTAINS operator, ignoring all other search criteria except Issue Year and Content Type.
