Use Inverted Commas
Put inverted commas around the phrase to do a more precise search, only records containing that phrase will be returned in your results.
Advanced Search
Advanced Search allows you to search by author, by ISBN etc. to specify in which fields search terms should appear e.g. words must appear in the title, and should be by a certain author. This will reduce your results alot, in the example below only records that have the words lifespan development in the title and the word Berk in the author will be returned in your results
