PubMed Update: Wildcard Search Improvements

by Steve Wilson on 2024-06-14T13:09:51-04:00 | 0 Comments

PubMed search syntax now supports expanded use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character. Previously, a wildcard could only be used for truncation at the end of a term or phrase to search for alternate endings. With this update, wildcards can be used in the middle of a term or phrase, and multiple wildcards can be used in the same term or phrase. Refer to this NLM Technical Bulletin article for detailed examples.
