On-site staff evaluation of U.S. counter-narcotics activities in Panama, Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia : a staff report / prepared for the use of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control. (OCLC #36934249)

When searching for hyphenated words in word indexes (such as the title index ti:) in Connexion, substitute a space for the hyphen or the search may not retrieve the records you’re looking for, even if your search is surrounded by quotes.

For example, this title (ti:) search does not retrieve any records:

"On-site staff evaluation of U.S. counter-narcotics
    activities in Panama, Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia"

but this one does:

"On site staff evaluation of U.S. counter narcotics
    activities in Panama, Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia"

Oddly enough, these title searches retrieve the record just fine:

"On-site staff evaluation"
"u.s. counter-narcotics"

but this one does not:

"u.s. counter-narcotics activities"

so the actual indexing may be more subtle.
