Advanced Database Search Techniques

• Depending on the publication, you may be able to perform one or more of the following types of searches:

• Search in titles
• Search in abstracts
• Search in reviews
• Search in all information (including full-text where available)

• For example, advanced searches in the ACM Digital Library allow you to specify where you want the search performed and then to specify one of the following desired results:

• Must have all of the words or phrases you enter
• Must have any of the words or phrases you enter
• Must have none of the words or phrases you enter
