and a link to the full paragraph. From the full paragraph you can also view previous and next paragraphs.

If variations of the word appear in Memoria: The Way of the Marys, the search lists all instances of each variation.

Example:
A search for "more and more" lists all instances that contain that exact phrase.
Example:
A search for "more, and more" lists no results, because that exact phrase including the comma does not occur in Memoria: The Way of the Marys.
If the search for a word or phrase lists too many results to be useful you can refine your search by adding a refining term preceded by "+".
Example:
A search for the word "heaven" lists many results; a search for "heaven +earth" lists fewer results.
Example:
A search for the phrase "more and more" lists dozens of results; a search for "more and more +different" lists just five results.
Example:
A search for the word "course" lists five results; a search for "course +sacred place" lists just one result.
Note that although the refining term you add may be word or a phrase, it is searched for as a precise pattern of characters.
Example:
A search for "Mary +free" lists fourteen results, which include the pattern "free" within the word "freedom" as well as "free" itself.
Example:
A search for "hearts +centre" returns no results; but a search for "hearts +center" lists seven results.
Example:
A search for "body +I" lists dozens of results, which include the pattern "I" within the words "give", "mistified", "this", etc. In this case merely switching the terms
to search for "+I +body" yields fewer results.
You may search for a specific word (using the initial "+") as well as a refining term (using a second "+") in the same query.
Example:
A search for "meant +time" lists many results; a search for "+meant +time" lists just twelve results.
