Proximity searching in databases


Proximity searches allow you to search for keywords that are within a set number of words of each other. The results can often be more relevant than a simple AND  search, though less precise than a phrase search. Different databases can use different command operators, so it is advisable to always consult the database help guide.

For further information please look at the Proximity Searching in databases post on the Advanced Searching webpage.
