The default search for a keyword is .mp. This stands for ‘multipurpose’ and will search for those words in a variety of fields including the title, abstract, keyword heading word and unique identifier. If you would like to limit the field that the words could be in then you can add suffixes to your search e.g. epilepsy.ab will find articles where the word epilepsy appears in the abstract.
