You may be able to get more results by adjusting your search query.

• If you are trying to use Boolean operators, they must be ALL CAPS: %22badger%((2c stephen) OR (c stephen)) %2f 1726-1803 %((2f early) OR (1720 early)) works to 1800%22.
• The words AND, OR and NOT may confuse the search; try adding quotes: "%22badger%((2c stephen) OR (c stephen)) %2f 1726-1803 %((2f early) or (1720 early)) works to 1800%22".
• Adding a wildcard symbol may retrieve word variants: %22badger%((2c stephen) OR (c stephen)) %2f 1726-1803 %((2f early) or (1720 early)) works to 1800%22*.
