Basic Search

Basic Search (also called Simple Search by Wiley Online Library) is useful for general searching or scoping a topic.  The Basic Search box is available from the Wiley Online Library home page and most other pages in the database. 

1. Enter one or more keywords in the search box.   

2. Click the Search icon (magnifying glass)

 

Search tips:

  • AND finds results containing both keywords e.g.badgers AND tuberculosis.  
  • OR finds results containing either one or both keywords e.g. badgers AND (tuberculosis OR TB) 
  • NOT excludes a keyword from your search results e.g. badgers AND tuberculosis AND vaccination -oral.  Warning: using - can result in your search not returning  some results that are relevant.
  • Use quotation marks (" ") to search for a phrase or words together in an exact order e.g. badgers AND "bacterium bovis"
