Hello Sister Claire - Try doing a search. Enter the words (lace, lacemaking) and see what you come up with. If you use the parentheses, you'll get a search on any or all of the terms. If you don't use the parentheses, you'll only find items which contain all of the terms. You may want to do a search that identifies various kinds of lace, as in "lace(Bucks, Bedfordshire, Honiton, Flanders, Duchesse)". The quotation marks would not be part of your search string, but the parentheses would be. This will find items that are described as lace with any of the words within the parentheses as descriptors.
As you play around, you'll discover lots of junk that you don't want to see and can refine your search string so that you eliminate those things before they even pop up on the screen.
