Search Tips | |
Adjacency | Multiple words are searched together as one phrase. Example : world health organization |
---|---|
Wildcards |
Words may be right-hand truncated using an asterisk ('*') in place of other characters. The '*' wildcard may also be embedded in a search string. Use '**' for open-ended truncation of over five characters. You may use '?' to replace a single character anywhere within a word. Examples : environment* polic*, p*ediatric, cardi**, wom?n |
Boolean Operators |
Use "and" or "or" to specify multiple words in any field, any order. Use "and not" to exclude words. Example : heart and lungs Example : (heart or cardiology) and (failure and not attack) |
Field limits | A field limit causes the system to search only the specified field for the specified word(s). |
Grouping | Keyword search results are usually grouped by relevance to bring the most likely titles to the top of the list. Each group represents a similar level of relevance and results are sorted within the group by date or title. To get an ungrouped result set, use boolean operators to form a complex query. |
