Some search tips - same as for databases:
Place quotes around a phrase
Using quotation marks means the whole phrase will be searched not the individual words
-------
Use the * for truncation
When you put an asterisk at the end of a search term it searches for words with any possible ending.
--------
Limit date
-----------
Limit search to particular types of documents by using
site:
site:gov = documents produced/authored by the government at all levels (federal,state,local) and government-sponsored research
site:edu = documents produced/ authored/ sponsored by educational entities
site:org = organizations / associations / think tanks
Example:
"foreign aid" "economic growth" site:gov
"voting rights" site:org
You can also limit words to a particular part of the document :
limit words to the title: intitle:
intitle:"voting behavior"
intitle:un sanctions
limit words to the text: intext:
intext:"voting rights" Georgia
