This search combines search strings from the content search (i.e. "Full Text", "Author", "Title", "Abstract", or "Keywords") with "Article Type" and "Publication Date Range" using the AND operator.

Search Examples

aromatic	the word “aromatic”
aromatic aldehyde	the word “aromatic” OR “aldehyde”
+aromatic +aldehyde	both words “aromatic” AND “aldehyde”
+aromatic -aldehyde	the word “aromatic” but NOT “aldehyde”
“aromatic aldehyde”	the exact phrase “aromatic aldehyde”
benz*	words which begin with “benz”, such as “benzene” or “benzyl”
benz*yl	words that begin with “benz” and end with “yl”, such as “benzyl” or “benzoyl”
benzyl~	words that are close to the word “benzyl”, such as “benzoyl” (i.e., fuzzy search)
