Search Hints

The system will try to find similar spellings or plurals automatically. If you are unsure of a spelling try using the ~ symbol at the end of a single word term.

• Use AND, OR, or NOT for combining terms (operators must be ALL CAPS). By default your search terms will automatically be combined using "AND". For example
  • heart AND surgery
  • food OR nutrition
  • cancer NOT chemotherapy
• Enclose a phrase in quotation marks to search for that exact phrase.
  For example: "abdominal pain"
• Use * to stem or truncate a word, or as a wildcard in the middle of a word
  For example: diabet*
• + - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * : ? each have a special meaning when used in a search. If you wish to use them according to their standard grammatical usage you must escape each with a backwards slash.
  For example: Diabetes\: What do the Numbers Mean\?
