Phrase Search: In the example below, the phrase genetically modified food has quotation marks around it to make sure the database searches it as a phrase, rather than as three un-related words.

Wildcard Placeholder: Notice also the asterisk * at the end of the word food. That asterisk will return all possible endings to the word food. This is handy if you're not sure whether to use the singular or plural of a word.

Scholarly articles: If necessary, limit to scholarly journals by putting a check mark in that box.
