Limiters
Academic Search Complete has many options for limiting search results, as do other search engines. These include language, date published, peer-reviewed, and more. Here is what the limits section of the advanced search screen looks like in this database:
Fields
Fields are another option that can be used to narrow a search. For example, you can select the "Author" field (in Academic Search Complete this is located in a drop box next to the search box - see below) and then type in an author's name. Ensure your spelling is exact when using this technique or you will not get the desired results.
