  1. Hi, William:

    You seem to be getting the idea of creating search statements by breaking down a question into keywords or terms and using boolean connectors. Using quotes is a great tool, make sure that you use phrases that are well known and used in the research/literature. It takes practice for it to become natural but the results are worth it.

    Cheers,
    Andrea
