Synonyms

The product automatically finds spelling variations (such as U.S. and U.K. spelling differences) in Topic and Title search terms. The feature allows the product to include in the search results different words that have the same meaning. If you enter a U.S. term, the product automatically searches for the equivalent U.K. term and vice-versa. For example:

color finds spelling variants such as color and colour
fertilizer finds spelling variants such as fertilizer and fertiliser
program finds spelling variants such as program and programme
And so on ...

To turn this feature off, enter a term using quotation marks (" "). For example, "color" finds only records containing the term color. Articles that contain the term colour are not return in the search results.

Wildcards

Synonyms do not work with wildcards (* $ ?). For example:

Entering Pediatric* as a search term will not find records containing the British equivalent Paediatric or Paediatrics.

However

Entering Pediatric* as a search term finds records containing Pediatric and Pediatrics.
