Advanced Query
The Advanced Query Filter empowers you to craft highly specific search queries and allows you to target your search by entering criteria directly for each supported indexed field. Use the advanced Query to refine your search results and pinpoint the exact information you require.
Using the Advanced Query Filters
Define a field search operation using fieldName:searchExpression syntax. The search expression can be a single word, a phrase, or a more complex expression (in parentheses), optionally with Boolean operators. For example:
- title:(federal NOT local)
- abstract:("FDA" "EMEA")
- publication_date:(20240517) (YYYYMMDD)
The field specified in fieldName:searchExpression must be an indexed field. Click the info button in the Advanced Query filter to view the supported fields.

Best Practices
Text Query
A good start when filtering content is to start with a text query.
You can use one single keyword or several keywords or create a complete search string. You can read more about combining keywords and creating search strings in Help.
Depending on how wide or narrow the search you would like to do, you can search in only the Title or the Description.
Filters and facets
Use predefined filters and facets to specify your search. Use the filters that best match your query. Use the AND, OR, and NOT operators to refine your search.
The list of posts that appears when you add filters allows you to preview the filters before applying them. Review the preview post list to ensure that the posts retrieved by the filter meet your expectations.
Optionally, use additional filters and facets to refine your search.
Commonly used filters and Recommendations
Subject Area, Publication name, and Language are the most commonly used filters.
Using these filters together with the Text filters is a good start for your search.
Start by adding a text query (one or several keywords or a search string) in the Title + Description text bars.
Combine your text filters with the Subject Area filters. Specify your search by adding the Publication name and the Language filter.
Alternatively, you can start your search with the Text filters in combination with the Publication name or Authors.
You can refine your search by using additional filters and facets, such as Keywords and Drugs, which allow you to drill down your search.
Preview the result and optionally use additional filters and facets to refine your search.
