CCSO Phonebook - Query Options

Wild Cards - CCSO phonebook servers accept the usual Unix shell wild cards in queries. For example:


   
    franklin roosev*
   
 sm[iy]th
   
 sm?th

field=value - can be used to narrow searches. For example:


    kub* department=comput*
   
 kub* address=DCL

However, since sites and users are largely free to modify fields, some trial-and-error may be needed.

return - This gateway automatically adds return all to all queries except in two cases:

Servers known not to accept return all
Non-uiuc.edu queries of the uiuc.edu server are restricted to default query output.
