This page should help explain how the publication list search works. If you want a more automated way of searching you can try the advanced search. Which provides a more complex interface without explanations. If you are looking to convert the BibTEX citations into EndNote, there are conversion tools on the EndNote Support Website.
This matches the text (both upper and lower case), before processing
it from the LaTeX format into HTML (see
the unusual character table below). If you
search in 'Authors' for
'Harrison.*Schmitt
'
it will find everything that first matches
'Harrison
'
and then later matches
'Schmitt
'
(like where Harrison as a second author on a paper where Schmitt was
third author). Note that this is different from
'Schmitt.*Harrison
'
which would match everything where 'Schmitt
' came
first. But if you want articles authored by either Harrison or Schmitt
you would write
'(Harrison|Schmitt)
'. If
you want all of the articles authored by both Harrison and Schmitt you
would write
'(Schmitt.*Harrison|Harrison.*Schmitt)
'.
Please note that whitespace is not used in searches. For more about
how to do regular expressions please see
the Wikipedia
Article.
The period character '.' is a wildcard to match any chracter (like the Unix commandline '?'). The asterisk '*' matches the previous any number of times (plus '+' matches 1 or more times, while '?' means match 0 or 1 times), so '.*' means match as many characters of anything as possible (roughly equivlent to the '*' wildcard from the Unix commandline.
Because the source database is a BibTEX file
(see bibtex_help.php) , everything is
formatted that way. This means that only ASCII characters are used
meaining that complicated characters like δ are represented as
they would be in LaTEX. For example, if you are planning
searching for the author 'Aléon', you will have to search for
the name formatted in LaTeX (which would be 'Al\'{e}on', but since a
single backslash is used in things like \d (any digit) and \. (a
literal period), a backslash must be indicated by two backslashes. So
a search that would work would be
'Al\\\'{e}on
'.
Another result of the BibTEX format is that titles must have bracket characters '{}' around all upper case letters. In order to get around this in searches, the title is appended to the end of the existing citation (but with all brackets removed).
For purposes of searching both the keywords and the author names are seperated by semicolins(;). Therefore if you search the author 'Harris' without a semicolin at the end like: 'Harris;' you will get results for 'Harrison' as well. Likewise if you have two or more authors with the same first initial, like: 'Krot' you can indicate their first inital by using the match not character '[^;]'. Then 'A[^;]*Krot' will be diffrent from 'T[^;]Krot'. This is done on the External User List page and automatically on the summary pages.
