1) Use the AND connector to search for different concepts
Example: identification AND procedures AND assailants
2) Use the OR connector to search for variant words for the same concept
Example: crime OR criminals
Note: To use the AND connector and OR connector in a single search string use parenthesis around the similar words
Example: (white collar crime* OR corporate computer fraud) AND whistleblowing
3) Use truncation to capture different possible endings for a word
Example: child* (captures child, children, childhood)
