What is an Advanced Search?
An Advanced Search is a full search of the entire AMA Manual of Style. It finds your term wherever it occurs in all chapters. This could be in the form of a keyword, as part of a chapter's abstract, or anywhere in the full text of the book.
An Advanced Search also allows you to search for multiple terms at the same time.
