The Basic Search box is available from the SAGE  homepage.  Basic search is useful for general searching or scoping a topic.  

1. Enter your keywords in the search box

2. Click the search (magnifying glass) icon.

The database will return a list of results that match your search terms.

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"
