Getting started
At Expanded Academic ASAP Plus ingenta,  Click in the entry box and enter search term(s)  which will be matched from the words in the full text of the aticles.
There are a number of ways of searching, among them  Keyword search  and   Relevance search.

Searching EAI
The default is a Keyword search (in entire article content)  which looks for search terms within two words of each other.

• Use Boolean operators to create a search strategy to describe your topic.
• Type  AND  between search terms where you want individual keywords from anywhere in the record.
• Use an * asterisk for trucation to pick up plurals and variant endings.
• Type   W   followed by a number, between search terms, to indicate that the terms should occur close together, within the specified number of words.
• When you want to find records containing any of the alternative words for a concept, enclose the words, separated by  OR,   in round brackets.

windmill*  AND  (power  OR  electric*  OR  energy)

(dam OR  dams)  AND  (impact  OR  effect*)  AND  (communit*  OR  people  OR  resident*)

Click on Back to Search to vary your search strategy.  If your search result is large, select search for words in title, citation, abstract to restrict the set.
 

Alternatively select Relevance search   (from the blue column at the left of the screen).
A  Relevance search   looks for words and word variants throughout an article.  Articles are given a higher relevancy score when they contain the search terms more often or in combination.

• type search terms in the search bar, do NOT use Boolean operators
• Do NOT use the * asterisk,  Relevance search   automatically searches for plurals and variant spellings.
• use " " quotation marks to specify a phrase
• use a + plus sign immediately in front of a search term to indicate that that word must appear in the article

Click on  Search   to bring up the  Citations,  that is up to 200 records matching your search, with the most highest scoring articles listed first.

•  AND between words to indicate that each word should be found in the record;
• "quotation marks" to indicate that the words should appear as a phrase;
• OR between words where you can think of alternative terms for a concept. It is important to enclose these search words in brackets.
• an astersik * as a truncation symbol, to pick up one or more different characters within or at the end of a word;
• a question mark ?, to replace a single character within or at the end of a word.
