Advanced Search Techniques “Truncation”
What is Truncation?
Truncation, also called stemming, is a
technique that allows you to search for various
word endings and spellings simultaneously.
Advanced Search Techniques “Truncation”
To use truncation enter the root of a word and
put the truncation symbol at the end. The
database will return results that include any
ending of the root word.
Example:
child* = child, child’s, children, children’s,
childhood
*GOAL in using truncation is to retrieve more
results.
Advanced Search Techniques

* Asterisk

# Hashtag
Look at the database “Help” screens to find out which symbol to use.
