How do I search PubMed?

1. Identify the key concepts for your search. 
2. Enter the terms (or key concepts) in the search box.
3. Press the Enter key or click Search.

For many searches, it is not necessary to use special tags or syntax. PubMed uses multiple tools to help you find relevant results:

• Best Match sort order uses a state-of-the-art machine learning algorithm to place the most relevant citations at the top of your results.
• An autocomplete feature displays suggestions as you type your search terms. This feature is based on PubMed query log analysis described in “ Finding Query Suggestions for PubMed .”
• A spell checking feature suggests alternative spellings for search terms that may include misspellings.
• A citation sensor displays suggested results for searches that include terms characteristic of citation searching, e.g., author names, journal titles, publication dates, and article titles.
