For both Sherlock and any of the databases you might search, there are ways you can construct your searches to get more specific results:
- sickle AND cell -- Use AND to connect words that must appear in a document.
- disease OR anemia -- Use OR if only one word must appear in a document.
- african NOT american -- Use NOT to exclude words or terms from a search
- disease* -- Use an asterisk to truncate a word and allow for different endings. For example, algorithm, algorithms, algorithmic, etc.
- "sickle cell" -- Use quotation marks to enclose a phrase or words that must appear together in a document.
