Boolean operators	AND, OR or NOT	Combine words in a query.

Truncation	? or *	Use as left and right truncation for any number of characters. Especially left truncation will slow down the search!
	#	Right truncation for one or zero characters. E.g. vapor# matches vapor and vapors.
	!	Exactly one character within or at the end of a term. E.g. sulf!!yl matches sulfenyl and sulfoxyl

List catenations	L1, L2...	Every search result is a list. Open Your search history by clicking on the small triangle left of "search history" in an serach tab. Most likely there will be more than one list, marked as 'L1', 'L2' ... . You can not combine lists with further search terms!

Basic proximity search	"..."	Use quotations ("") to search for a special string. E.g. "organic chemistry" searches for this particular phrase! A query organic chemistry searches for documents just containing both words.

Advanced proximity search	The GUIDES feature proximity operators for more sophisticated full-text retrieval.
	(nW)	A query matching on 'abstracts on scientific publications' would be abstracts(0W)on(0W)scientific(0W)publications. abstracts(4W)publications will find documents containing the words publications and abstracts in that order. There may be up to four words between the searched words.
	(nA)	abstracts(4A)publications will find documents with the words publications and abstracts in either order. There may be up to four words between the search terms.
