You also have the option to use the Advanced Search. Below the Quick Search box is the link to Advanced Search.

Clicking on this will take you to this screen:

The Advanced Search screen shown above allows you to search for word(s) in the text of all reports, in only the title of the reports, or as topic of the report. You can also search specific report sections. Maybe you are looking for reports about "gun control" but only want the sections that mention "gun control" in the Pro/Con (opposing viewpoint) section. You would then type in "gun control" in the search box, and then select the Search only specific report section, and select the box by Pro/Con. You can limit your search by date and sort results by relevancy, date or alphabetic by title.
