Search Techniques to Narrow or Broaden Your Search

AND

  1. Narrows your search
  2. You can use multiple AND's. The more you use, it narrows your search and you will get fewer your results.
  3. Example:
    1. "mental health" AND medication

OR

  1. Broadens your search
  2. You can use multiple OR's. The more you use, the more results you will get.
  3. Good to use when you know synonyms or alternative words for a keyword you are researching.
  4. Example:
    1. "therapy" OR counseling

Asterisk (*)

  1. Broadens your search
  2. Automatically searches and give you results with all variations of that root word (anything before the asterisk)
  3. Example:
    1. treat* gives you results with: treat, treated, treating, treatments, etc.
