Here are some examples of how to find answers to common questions
Enter your search term or terms in the search box (tell me how) and select Search
e.g. bradycardia "respiratory depression"
The search results appear in the document area.
At the top of the results is an explanation of the query.
Find documents matching both bradycardia and respiratory depression.
If you have carried out a search from the MedicinesComplete home page, the number of documents in each publication will be displayed. Select any publication to see the detailed list of results.
Once you select a publication, either before or after carrying out the search, you will see the detailed results list.
The number of results from the full text search is listed immediately above the results list and looks like this:
Text search: there are matches in 150 documents.
When a search returns a large number of results, only the first 10 are displayed initially.
Results 1 - 10, sorted with best match first.
If you wish to view all the results, follow the link:show all 150 results.
Beneath this, the list of documents is displayed, together with their positions in the table of contents which may help you locate results within monographs.
Selecting the document title from the results list will display the document in the document area. To return to the search results, use your browser's Back button.
For most publications, the default view is for a text search. If this is not the case, select the Full Text tab to see the full text results.
Does the first line of the results list say it has found the closest match for your search term? If your exact search term cannot be found, the system will offer you the closest match it can find - but it may not be the word you intended!
You may have limited your search too much by including too many terms or by restricting it to a particular section
