Advanced Searching: Advanced Searching  involves three easy steps:
  1. Choose a search index ( journal (jn), date (da), keyword (ke), author (au), subject (su), and title (ti). Each index has its own abbreviation. Keyword is the default index
  2. Click in the entry box and enter one or more words
  3. Click on [Search] 
Note that some index choices end with the word list, such as "Journal Name list." These "lists" let you browse and select from a list of index entries that you want to search.  A successful search or a selection from a browse list produces a search result that looks something like this:
                                R1 (ke melanoma)
                                            View 998 Citations; Modify Search
In this example, "R1" is the result of the first search. The "ke"  abbreviation indicates that the key word index was searched. You can highlight any search result and click on [View] to see citations. You can also perform more searches, then combine search results using logical operators (e.g., R3 not R5).  You can also use logical and other search operators between words that you're searching for (e.g. melanoma or cancer).
