Tips from http://www.loc.gov/help/help-lc-simple.html
Add Words to Improve Results: More words will increase the number of search results. But documents containing all of the words entered will be ranked highest.
Example: kid teacher history learn
Enclose Exact Phrases in Quotes: The results will include documents containing those words in that exact order.
Examples: "civil war maps" "jackie robinson" "declaration of independence"
Use a Plus Sign to Require and a Minus Sign to Exclude
Example: +washington +state -george
Retrieves documents containing the words "state" and "washington" but not "george."
Capitalize Proper Nouns
Example: Library Congress
Only finds documents containing "Library" and "Congress" (but not "library" and "congress").
Try Alternate Spellings: Some proper names and common words have variant spellings (British vs. American or because of transliteration differences). Include all known spellings for the broadest search results.
Examples: Mohammad Muhammad Mohammed labor labour
Library of Congress
