• Tips on using the SearchEverything Box: 
• To search, you can use Boolean operators capitalized such as AND, OR and NOT. Example: Title of Article AND Author Name

• It is best not to use punctuation in the SearchEverything Box such as colons, semicolons and commas

• You can use the wildcards ? or * but not as the first character of the search term or in a phrase search.  Example:  To find Olsen or Olson search for Ols?n.  To find one or more characters within or at the end of a word use an *.  Example: Ch*ter or Temp*

• Proximity searches limit result sets to terms within a specified number of words from each other. Example: "cornering force"~5 finds cornering and force within 5 words of one another

• On the left, under "Refine Your Search" you can limit to "Scholarly and Peer-Review" to find academic articles. You can also refine your results by content type and date.
