Advanced search from Internationa e-materials differs from LUC-Finna's other advanced searches. From the beginning of the search box, you select how the keywords entered in the search box are combined. Subsequent search boxes are always combined with AND.

1. Type gymnastics in the first search box.
2. In the second search box, type "costume design" and its alternate keywords, e.g. "clothing design" "sport clothes". Two-part keywords are enclosed in quotation marks, with only a blank space between the keywords.
3. Select "Any term (OR)" at the beginning of the search box, when there are two or more alternate keywords in the search box.
