Database Search Tip Do not use AND, OR, or NOT to link your search terms. 

To exclude a word from a search, simply prefix the word that you don't want to appear with a minus symbol (-), and entries containing that word will not be returned. For example, searching for Darwin -evolution will return entries that contain Darwin but don't mention evolution.

Placing double quotation marks around your search terms will ensure that only entries containing exact matches are returned. For example, searching for "strange fruits" will only return entries containing those words in that order when they appear together.

Go to xrefer's help section and read about the basics of an xreferplus search, additional search tips, and introductory tours.

Notes The Research Mapper feature provides a visual map of how search terms and topics in xreferplus are interconnected.  You can access the Research Mapper from your search results or from the xrefer home page.
