Advanced Search Operators

Hi Does Bing, Microsoft Academic or any other microsoft search engine support these operators: "Proximity operators: Proximity (or adjacency) operators allow you to search by phrase or with two or more words in relation to one another. Use the database's Help tab for to verify what symbol to use. Near (n): if it does not matter which word appears first. Example: Prozac n3 adverse effects Finds Prozac within three words of adverse effects With (w): if your terms must be in the same order in which they are entered. Example: physical w1 therapy Finds records where the word physical is listed first, followed by the word therapy, and where no more than one word separates the two terms. Exact Phrase: Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase. Example: "persian cat" Finds information on cats that are the Persian breed, not just cats in relation to anything Persian. Stop words and, if, or, the, a, for "http://research.library.gsu.edu/c.php?g=115556&p=751933"

Hi, Hashem,

Examples may be using the " when searching.

"prozac" adverse effects - this reveals a list of side effects

Physical "w1 therapy" - reveals w1 therapy search results

Cat "persian" - reveals Persian cat details

The " has to be in the correct position for this to work.
