Automatic Expansion

The automatic expansion of addresses does not work for multi-word terms. For example, entering AF will retrieve records in which the term "AF" appears in the Address field, but it will not retrieve records in which the term "Air Force" appears in the Address field and vice-versa.

Other terms that do not work include:

  • AFB and Air Force Base
  • AIDS and Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome
  • PO and Post Office
  • POB and Post Office Box
  • US and United States
  • Vet Adm and Veterans Administration

When creating an Address query, we recommend that you enter both the abbreviated term and the full term connected with the OR Boolean For example, PO OR Post Office will to retrieve all records that have either "PO" or "Post Office" in the Address field.

index

Address Abbreviations

If the publisher of a source document abbreviated a common address term, the publisher's abbreviation may appear in the record. If you are familiar with an abbreviation that is not in the help list, try searching for it along with the full term. Remember, an abbreviated term will retrieve records in which the term appears in the Address field of a record. For example:

  • Astron finds Astron in the Address field but not Astronomy
  • Constr finds Constr in the Address field but not Construction
  • Oper finds Oper in the Address field but not Operating

When seaching the Address field, enter both the abbreviated term and the full term to retrieve records that contain either term. For example, Astron OR Astronomy
