Creating a Search Query
Most databases don’t know how to interpret the natural language we speak. A search query is your research question or thesis written in an expression the database’s search engine can interpret in order to locate relevant results.
A search query is usually made up of:
- Words or phrases representing the most important concepts of your topic
- Search operators, which logically group concepts together
The search query may include:
- Phrases
- Boolean or logical operators
- Truncation
- Nesting
