designated by the keywords above. The search will look for the remainder
of your search under that heading.

the Major field and return with the Spanish Major rather than other
departments or Colleges)
When not to use Search Assistant.
Do not use Search Assistant when trying to search for specific phrases or
words. It will do a literal search of the criteria entered.
