*Most used boxes: How a Database Thinks

A common mistake students make is to search a database the same way they search Google. Avoid this mistake and your results will dramatically improve.

Here is a common and incorrect searching style:

The database will interpret this search as a phrase, so only results where the words are next to each other will appear. An article called "Teens exhibit violent behavior after playing violent video games" will not appear, even though it may be exactly what you need.

Avoid limiting your results by separating search terms:

In this search, the main concepts (keywords) are on different lines. You will get more results because the search is now more flexible.

Use AND / OR / NOT
