Basic Search Operators for Omni and Library Databases
Operator/Symbol	Description	Use	Example
AND	Boolean Operator	Use between two or more terms to search for articles that contain ALL terms. This narrows results	economy AND trade AND deficit
OR	Boolean Operator	Use between two or more terms to search for articles that contain ANY of the terms. This expands results.	entreprise OR business OR corporation
"x"	Quotation Marks	Searches for articles that contain the exact phrase. This narrows results.	"corporate social responsibility"
*	Asterisk	Use after the root of a word to retrieve alternative word endings. For example, Canad* retrieves Canada, Canada's, Canadian, and Canadians. This expands results.	Canad*
()	Parentheses	Use to group terms that are synonyms or closely related terms together. Databases will process Boolean operators inside parentheses first before processing operators between groups of terms enclosed in parentheses.	"social responsibility" AND (business OR corporation)

Add synonyms or related terms to your search using OR to expand your search and retrieve more results
Add additional terms with AND to narrow your search and retrieve fewer results
Refine your search using the search filters and limiters provided by the database (e.g. date of publication, source type, subject). These usually appear on the the left-hand menu of the results page.
