Welcome to EBSCOs Conducting an Advanced Guided
Style search on EBSCOhost tutorial. In this
tutorial, we will look at conducting an Advanced
Search on EBSCOhost, using the Guided Style Find
fields as well as applying limiters and expanders.

Guided Style searching allows you to
simultaneously search for different terms in
varying article citation fields. Begin by
entering a search term in the first Find field,
and then select which field(s) to search from the
drop-down list, such as Subject Terms.
4
Guide your search using a second term and choose
the All Text field to have EBSCOhost look within
the full text of all articles for your term.
Note You can conduct command line searches using
the appropriate field tags, e.g., SO for Journal
Name, in front of the search term in the Find
field.
5
In the Search Options area, the Advanced Search
Screen offers additional search limiters for
increased result refinement. For example, you can
limit results to Full Text articles within a
specified date range. Click Search to view the
Result List.
6
A Result List is displayed and defaults to
showing All Results. It is easy to limit your
results using the limiters under Refine your
results on the left. The Result List can also be
filtered to view results by source type, such as
Academic Journals, Magazines, or Newspapers, by
clicking the checkboxes next to the desired
source type and clicking Update. You can view
your search terms, any applied limiters or
expanders, and selected subject terms in the
Bread Box above the limiters.
7
You can print, email, save, cite or export a
single result from the Detailed Record when you
click on a title link. To print, email, save,
cite or export multiple results, add them to the
folder, then click the appropriate icon inside
the folder. Folder contents can be saved by
clicking on the Sign In link, and then setting up
a personalized (My EBSCOhost) folder account at
no charge.
