![Search Details
The Search Details portal is an important tool to use when building a search.
If you notice that the results PubMed has retrieved for a search are not
relevant, you should check the Search Details section to see exactly how
PubMed has translated your query.
An example would be a broad search for nursing (profession). While
you have just searched the word nursing, PubMed translated that as:
"nursing"[Subheading] OR "nursing"[All Fields] OR
"nursing"[MeSH Terms] OR "nursing"[All Fields] OR "breast
feeding"[MeSH Terms] OR ("breast"[All Fields] AND
"feeding"[All Fields]) OR "breast feeding"[All Fields]
PubMed mapped “nursing” to “breast feeding” and returned 578358
results. While taking out those terms in red will return 550360. A
28,000 article difference!](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/advancedpubmedpresentation-140523122816-phpapp02/85/Advanced-PubMed-Presentation-with-Endnote-6-320.jpg)

- 5. Enclose a phrase in double quotes ◦ Example: “spinal surgery” Try without quotes first Truncate a search by using an asterisk (*). This is commonly referred to as a “wildcard search” ◦ Example: mimic* PubMed searches: mimic, mimics, mimicing etc.. “Nest” search terms in parentheses. The terms inside the set of parentheses will be processed as a unit and then incorporated into the overall strategy. ◦ Example: salmonella AND (hamburger OR eggs) PubMed will retrieve records that contain the term salmonella, as well as one or both of the terms hamburger OR eggs. PubMed also refers to a list of commonly found words that are referred to as "stopwords." Stopwords are words that, if indexed, could potentially return every document in the database if the word was used in a search statement. Consequently, commonly found words are not indexed and PubMed will ignore them.
