ERIC Web Database Update (7/16/2006)

What’s New?
+ Faster search performance

+ Stemming is disabled; therefore exact matching of words or acronyms happens without the need for quotes. For those searchers that need stemming-like functionality, the asterisk (*) wildcard can be used — this is sometimes referred to as truncation. To use the wildcard feature you must specify a minimum of three letters (e.g., laugh* to retrieve laugh, laughed, laughing, laughter).

+ Enhanced author searches permitting inclusion of first or middle initials (e.g., “Doe, C. John” or “Doe, John C.”).
