Query Builder
Query builder enhances the search functionality by allowing you to construct detailed and precise search queries using various parameters and logical operators. The Search query builder helps you find more relevant scientific articles based on specific search criteria.
To access this feature, head to “search” on the left hand menu of the web app and click on “Advanced”
Or, from the drop down menu in the text box of your search results
Once advanced searching is pulled up, you can select if you’d like your search to focus on all metadata or a specific set such as author, journal, or year of publication followed by the terms you’re looking for. For example:
Here, we are searching for “Lexapro use for OCD”
You can search for that alone, or, add another query to make your search for specific. For example, here we have added OR “Escitalopram for OCD”
By hitting “add” on the right-hand side, your new query is added to your original:
You can continue to add as many parameters as you’d like. For instance, here is the same example but with a specific date range added in:
And now you’re ready to search!
