If you get no hits try the following:

  • check the spelling of your search terms
  • consult a thesaurus or index for alternative terms
  • make sure you have used any brackets or Boolean operators correctly

If none of these help, you may be using an inappropriate database for your needs. See what others are available.

Many databases offer a thesaurus or index of all the terms within the database, or even build a tree-like hierarchical structure of these terms to help you narrow down what you are searching for, especially in the Sciences. This is often a good way to find out which terminology a database is using eg heart attack or heart arrest.
