Unlike the previous Webbase search, which processed search terms with the boolean "OR", this form searches with "AND". Thus, by adding search terms, one is able to reduce the number of records returned, narrowing the search to a manageable number of "hits" and (hopefully) the most relevant records. For an example of the difference, search here for Nationality, Career = "English" and Means of Support, Primary = "Medicine". Compare the resulting forty three returns with the number found by the old limited search form.

Also, this form is about eight times faster when searching single terms.
