Keywords

As you craft your search terms, remember that there may be multiple ways Arabic or Persian words have been transliterated into English. For example there are four common ways to write Quran:

Koran Quran Qur'an Qu'ran

To get the best search results you can use OR, a Boolean Operator that will broaden searches by telling a database to return results that include any or all of the listed search terms. So, we might search for Koran OR Quran to ensure we get results with both spellings. You can also use OR to include synonyms of a word.
