How do I do a full text search?

Enter your search term or terms in the search box (tell me how) and click on Search

e.g. arrhythmias "beta blockers"

The search results appear in the document area.

At the top of the results is an explanation of the query.

Find documents matching either arrhythmias or beta blockers.

The number of results from the full text search is listed immediately above the results list and looks like this:

When a search returns a large number of results, only the first 50 are displayed initially.

Results 1 - 50, sorted with best match first.
