Enter your search terms. When using more than one term:
Use "and" to return results that match both terms.
Use "or" to return results that match both and either term **be careful - you can match one and not the other**.
Use "not" to return results that match one term only and will exclude it by the second term.
To search for a specific phrase use quotation marks (") around it. This will return articles that have those words next to each other.
Example:
"cut corners" will return articles that have those two words next to each other. If I just put in cut corners without the quotes, it will return any article that has cut or corners in it.
To expand your search results and accept other forms of a word use a wildcard, an asterisk (*). Use this at the cut off point in your search term.
Examples:
communicat* → gets you communicate, communication, communicative, communicational, communicating, etc.
dis* → gets you disorder, discrimination, display, discourse, disability, disadvantages, disaster, etc.
