Newswise provides powerful tools for searching its entire database of over 80,000 articles.
The quick search form (shown below) appears on every page of our site in the upper right hand corner. Use it to quickly search for terms.
To search for phrases and to do boolean search, click Advanced Search to go directly to the search page.
On the left side are the search form and facet links*. On the right side of the search page are the search results. The default view shows all articles, listed by most-recent-release date first.
Add terms, phrases, and facets sequentially to refine and filter your search. Your selections appear at the top of the left column.
Selecting a facet returns all the articles that match that facet and the rest of your search criteria.
*See right sidebar for explanation of facets
To search for a phrase, enclose your phrase in “quotes”. A phrase can be up to five words long. Symbols and common words such as “and” and “the” are ignored; this should not negatively affect your results. Phrase search results are returned in the order of best-matches first.

These are some of the ways that content is organized and classified on Newswise. By selecting a facet you will return all articles that match that facet and the rest of your search criteria.
