Clarification on library search
Posted: Sun Nov 29, 2020 1:48 am
Hi all,
There are a few things I don’t understand about the library search function, and I was wondering whether someone could be so kind to help me out. For example:
1. I have a reference that has the words GNOM and ARF1 in its title and in its abstract. If I search Abstract with “GNOM ARF”, the reference will be retrieved; if I search with “GNOM ARF1”, it won’t. If I search either All or Title with “GNOM ARF” or “GNOM ARF1”, the reference will not be retrieved.
2. If I search Authors with more than one author name, the search will retrieve no references.
3 If I search All with more than one word — two authors, one author and a year, one author and a word in title or abstract, etc. — the search will retireve no references.
If I do any of the above on Bookends for Mac, I get the expected results, i.e. the right references are retrieved. What am I missing / doing wrong? Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Enrico
