Here are some search techniques that you can use directly in the Google Scholar search box without using the Advanced search feature.
- To search exact phrases, search them in quotes. For instance, "resistant hypertension" will yield results where those 2 terms will be right next to each other.
- To search for any of the terms in the title, abstract, url, and essentially, any part of the web record that is searchable, use allintext:term term term. For instance: allintext:resistant hypertension patients medications yields results where resistant, hypertension, patients, and medications appear somewhere in the web record.
- To search for a topic and a specific word that appears in the title, use intitle. For example, COVID vaccine intitle:children yields results where children appears in the title and COVID, vaccine appear in other parts of the web record.
- To include a term, use + before the term: For example, if you are looking for resources that have children in the results, use: +children "COVID-19 vaccine"
- To exclude a term, use - before the term. For example, if you are looking for resistant hypertension articles but you do not want to retrieve books, use "resistant hypertension" -book
- To retrieve more than 1 topic: use OR (you do need to use all caps). To retrieve information about hypertension in the elderly and in pregnancy: hypertension (pregnancy OR elderly)
