Preventing the system from retrieving alternate endings

In TITLE, SUBJECT, or AUTHOR searches, you may use | to restrict retrieval to the specific term you enter (to prevent the system from searching the term as a root word).

For example: bible|
retrieves the title The Bible, but not Bible A B C, The Bible Users Guide, Bible Alive Series, The Bible Almanac.

In WORDS searches, the | is not necessary, because the system automatically searches just the word you specify.

For example: bible
retrieves just "bible" in a keyword search.
