Using the Search Builder Free Text Search (default)

You can just enter your search terms (with appropriate connectors - see Examples) or you can narrow your search using one of the indexes.

To access the index, click on the white triangle to the left. This opens up the search and browse options. If searching, type in the term and then click on the purple button. To add a resulting term to your search, click on it. Do NOT click on the blue arrow to the right of the term as this will result in error messages when you execute the search. After adding the term by clicking on it, it will appear beside the index in purple. To deselect the term, click on it again.
e.g. I want to search just the Globe and Mail, so I click on the white triangle beside Source, type in Globe and Mail, and select Publication: The Globe and Mail (Canada) by clicking on it.
