| Syntax: | [surname] OPERATOR [first name] |

HINT: As far as possible, BILDI is provided by the original spelling of the authors' names, as well as diacritic signs. However, due to labor-effency, the names have to be entered in the form they appear in the different publications. Users have to face therefore two problems:
- the same author can appear in BILDI under different spelling systems
- diacritic signs (special characters) have to be entered in the search
In these cases the use of fill-ins are recommended:
| Example: | <AU=Mu?oz> |
| Result: | data with the spelling "Munoz" or "Munñoz" and eventual titles with authors contain another letter in this place. |
Members of the BILDI-staff make every effort to standardize different spellings of the same authors.

In this field you can search for every word contained in a title. The title-words have to be combined with operators.
