Use “” quotations for a precise search – for instance if you want to look up a specific title.
Use = as an OR search making it possible to combine AND / OR queries, e.g. Water=Aqua Denmark=Danmark
Use ? for truncation Water=Aqua D?nmark This search would return the same result as above.
Use prefixes to search in specific bibliographic elements e.g.: TI:university will return records that has the word “university” in the title. More Search codes
