Type in the keywords that you are interested in and choose the correct Search Method depending on what you are searching for (all of the words, any of the words, the exact phrase or boolean). You can also use Wildcard Characters and Search Operators. Choose keywords that are unique enough to identify the information you want. Searching for words that appear too commonly will likely return a greater number of irrelevant results.
