Searching uses the 'and' of terms e.g. Smith Interspeech matches all papers by Smith in any Interspeech. The order of terms is not significant.

Use double quotes for exact phrasal matches e.g. "acoustic features".

Case is ignored.

Diacritics are optional e.g. lefevre also matches lefèvre (but not vice versa).

It can be useful to turn off spell-checking for the search box in your browser preferences.
