Does HOLLIS search the full-text of Harvard's archival finding aids?

I know there is an archival finding aid that matches my search, but it is missing from my results.

In general, HOLLIS searches the full-text of our electronic finding aids. There is an exception for very long finding aids, as only the first 80,000 words are searchable in HOLLIS. As of June 2018, there are 115 finding aids (2% of the total) in this category. We anticipate that a future update will remove this limitation.

HOLLIS for Archival Discovery is the dedicated search tool for Harvard's electronic finding aids and searches the full text of all of our electronic finding aids.

For details about a particular collection, contact the relevant Harvard repository.
