Combine key word using: Select AND to narrow the result set to those articles containing all of the words or phrases entered on each of the 4 boxes. OR will widen the result set to articles containing any of the words or phrases entered. Entering words in seperate boxes can aid in including articles when precise usage may vary. For example: 'closed-loop' as an entry yields about half as many relevant hits as 'closed' on one line and 'loop' on the next. This is due to the various usages (with and without a hyphen, for example) that show up in the abstracts.

Search for: 'Any occurrence of entries,' the default, means that an entry of 'chrom' will return matches of chromium, chrome and chromating. If 'Entries are complete words' is selected a more restricted result set is returned: Only the precise word or phrase when surrounded by spaces or punctuation will result in a match. With 'Entries are complete words' selected, 'chrom' will result in no hits.
