Field Search Tips

Search On:

If you select "every" the database will link all fields for which you have entered information. If you select "any" the database will search for all occurrences of terms in any of the fields.

If You Find Too Little:
If you find that you are not getting any results, or not getting as many as you would like, you need to broaden your search. Here are a few options:

  1. Remove one of the terms from your search. If you are using too many terms, you might be restricting the search too much.
  2. Look for misspellings in the terms you have entered.
  3. Change one of the terms to a broader term. For example, replace "peer counseling" with "counseling."
  4. Change an acronym to the full name of an organization. For example, replace "EPHA" with "Ethiopian Public Health Association."

If You Find Too Much:
If you get too many summaries, you need to narrow your search. Here are a few options:

  1. Make your wording more specific. For example, use "syphilis" instead of "sexually transmitted diseases."
  2. Add another word into a field. If you are searching for the word "health," you are likely to find too many records. Limit the search by entering another word to the same field, such as "mental." Also, add a term to the Source, Descriptor, or Date fields.
