Searching Examples
Here are some examples of how to combine key terms for Norse mythology topics:
| Technique | Example |
| Combine different concepts using "AND" | Thor and Viking AND mythology |
| Combine synonyms or related terms using "OR" | Viking OR Norse |
| Put parentheses around similar terms for complex searches | Thor AND (Viking OR Norse) AND mythology |
| Use the truncation symbol (usually *) to make a search term open-ended | Thor AND (Viking OR Norse) AND myth* |
