- Alternatively, wildcards and truncation can be used:

• An?esthesia - this will match both anaesthesia and anesthesia

• Medic* - this will find any variation on the word medicine

Titles containing commonly used words should be restricted to title matching.

- Click in search box and select XXXX in Title (where XXXX = your search term)
- Append an index term to your search:

• ti: is a title keyword search - for example: ti:miller's anesthesia
• ti= is an exact title search - for example: ti=miller's anesthesia

- Use Boolean operators to refine your search:

• AND, OR and NOT are supported - for example: anesthesia OR anaesthesia
• Brackets () can also be used to create more complex searches - for example: (anesthesia OR anaesthesia) AND cardiac
