How to use the basic search

The basic search is available on all pages across the Informit platform.  

Type one or more terms in the search bar and press the Enter key or click on the red search icon. The terms you entered will be searched across all databases selected in all fields (excluding the full text of content). 

 

Limiting your search 
You can further limit your search to records with Full Text Only, Peer Reviewed and/or Resource Type.  

 

Autocomplete 
As you type your search term(s) into the search bar suggestions will appear. If relevant, you can select any of those terms to immediately return results for the selected suggestion.
