Advanced Advanced topics and document searching with combining queries

The query syntax is the same in all the searches - see Show help

By default, there is no need to use diacritics when writing a query. Query is also case-insensitive.
For precise searching use Exact matching. This search mode can be selected in the Settings

When a query returns zero hits or just a few results, you can use Semantic search experimental (only after logging in).

When searching or filtering by a specific MeSH term, the query is being expanded to all narrower terms - this mode can be overridden per each query:

When searching or filtering by a MeSH term in combination with a subheading or when using Semantic search the query is not being expanded - it always filters by the specific term.

For advanced usage it is recommended to select in the Settings

  • Numbering
  • Subheadings
  • Add to Advanced
  • Advanced filters
