SciFinder Strategy
Unlike most literature databases, SciFinder does not allow Boolean searching (AND or OR). This database is designed for natural language searching. It separates concepts in the topic by PREPOSITIONS in the entered search string. Relationships between concepts are not 'understood' by the words used. It automatically searches related terms and truncates terms; this process can't be controlled by the user.
