The key to searching databases is to try out different combinations and variations of search terms. Not all databases process search input in the same way. Phrase searching is one technique you can use to refine your search. To initiate a phrase search, enclose phrases inside quotation marks or parentheses. This tells the database to search the phrase as a unit instead of a string of keywords.
For example:
"business management"
(business management)
