Basic Search
Search hints:
If you choose Yes for "Words adjacent," you can type in the phrase
heart transplant and the system
will understand that you want only records that have the word heart
NEXT to the word transplant.
Lowercase letters will find matches of capitalized words also. For example, heart will find matches for heart, Heart
and HEART.
You may use the Boolean operators AND and OR in your search string. For
example, you could type (heart OR cardiac) AND surgery to retrieve all
records having heart or cardiac in them, together with the
word surgery.
Use the ? character to find matches that contain portions
of words. For example, nurs? will retrieve nurse, nurses, nursing,
etc. In another example, ?ology will retrieve
biology, psychology, etc. The ? character
may also be used to find variant spellings. For example, an?emia
will find both anaemia and
anemia, and ?estrogen will find both estrogen and oestrogen.
