This entry needs more work. At present, you must use an abbrevation for the journal, such as ApJ for The Astrophysical Journal. The abbrevations that are used in the database should follow those used in the NASA ADS Archive. In the future, I hope to have the program transparent to abbrevations and full names. The input is case insensitive.

Year

You can select a range, in years, over which to search. The default start year is 1995. The default end year is the current year.

Keywords

This entry could be anything from a particular object, like He 2-25, or a class of object, like bipolar. If you specify a keyword, it will also search the title for this string. Multiple keywords are separated by commas.

Technical Issues

This archive uses the Perl module CGI.pm to access and process the input from this form. That input is passed to another Perl program, which searches the database file, sorts the output according to score and year of publication, and constructs the output HTML page. Not bad for an underpaid astronomer, hey?

Some fields are longer than one line: in these cases, you don't need to repeat the keyword, but you do need the colon character. Here is an example ...
