How can I directly write a research equation?
The implicit Boolean operator between different words in a search is AND. The available Boolean operators are OR, NOT and AND.
Truncation can be used with the star * character. If this is added at the end of a word or after the first letters of a word, it enables a search to be run on works “which begin with…” or “which finish with…” It can be particularly useful for searching for the singular and plural forms of words.
Example: Book* searches for book, books, etc.
To write a search equation select the ALL field then in the search bar, please enter your desired syntax: {field}: {word to search for}
