AAPT.org Author Search Tips

The AAPT Author Search Engine uses single word simple queries, meaning that end users may enter simple, strings and use wildcard characters (*). By default, a simple query searches for words, not strings. For example, entering the last name "Morris" will find abstracts containing the author and co-author last/first names "morris" but not "morrison." You can use wildcards, however to broaden the scope of the search. "Morris*" will return abstracts containing "Morris," "Morrison," and/or "Morriston." The author search can not be used to search by phrases or mulitple names. So a search in the following format "Morris, Thomas" would yeild 0 results.

In aapt.org searches, case is ignored.

Accepted search formats:

Morris	Returns only abstracts with author and co-author last/first names "Morris" in them
Morris*	Returns only abstracts with author and co-author last/first names that begin with "Morris" (Morris, Morrison, etc.)
