5. Focus your search using the limiters in the left-hand column.
   
    

Tips

• Use a proximity operator (i.e., NEARn) to keep keywords near one another. For example, "himalayan NEAR2 mountains" finds articles with the words "himalayan" and "mountains" within two words of one another.
• Use an asterisk (*) to truncate words. For example, "mount*" retrieves articles with the words mount, mountain, mountains, etc. This is particularly important in historical newspaper databases including a lot of hyphenated words. For example, a search for the word "mountains" will not find the hyphenated "moun-tain"; a search for "mount*" will.
