Different Valid Spellings
When carrying out searches remember the different spellings that our
cousins across the waters may use
There are TWO valid spellings for some concepts eg sterilize OR sterilise
and center OR centre.
Boolean Search Operators
Usual Boolean logic terms for most search engines are AND OR NOT &
NEAR.
But Beware - with AltaVista the NOT search operator must be typed in
as AND NOT.
With the Excite search engine you can use shorthand + for AND
and - for NOT or AND NOT.
Now aren't you glad I made that so clear!*?
Searching for - infection AND control - will result in list based on
searches looking for BOTH the words infection and control that appear anywhere
in the search sample. This may bring up some reference with nothing to
do with Dentistry, simlpy because BOTH the words appear in that section
of the page that is "sampled". With some search engines this may be as
few as the first 20 words of the Web page, but with the Advanced Searches
such as those carried out by
Alta Vista Advanced Search
the "sample" will include ALL of the text on EVERY page in the search base
(for AltaVista this was in excess of 140 Million references at last
count.)
Searching for phrases
Searching for words typed within quotation marks such as "infection control" will find references where the phrase within the quotation marks appears in the search sample.
Searching for variations of a word
Typing in dent* (dent followed by the ' * ' sign) for an advanced search
will search for ANY word that starts with the letters dent ; such as dentist,
dental, dentistry, dentine or denture. (and unfortunately dented)
