Combine search words with boolean operators
To be able to build a proper search query you need to combine the search word correctly. To do this you should use the Boolean operators. Use CAPITALS when you write the Boolean operators. Some databases accept lower case letters, but not all.

Example: bird AND migration
- All search terms have to be included in the results
- Limits the search results, i.e. fewer search results
- Space between words means (most often) AND

Example: bird OR aves
- At least one of the terms should be included in the results
- Use for synonyms or other alternative terms
- Widens the search, i.e. more search results

Example: ecology NOT medicine
