When search terms appear in key sections such as title or lead paragraph, it is usually a good indication that the story is very relevant.

For title searches, enter terms in the Titles: search box.

For lead paragraph searches, type your search terms in the Free Text: box preceded by the THESTART& operator.

Searching for terms that appear close together is a good way to ensure that the terms are discussed in relation to one another in the story. The NEAR operator [&], achieved using the ampersand between two words, will retrieve articles with the terms within ten words of each other. To search for a phrase using &, use quotation marks around the phrase.

Add a colon plus a number [:nn] to specify how many words can come between the terms, 1 to 50. The NEAR operator can be used in the Titles: or Free Text: search boxes.
