Narrow

To limit the scope of your search.

Often a search in a database or on the Web will give you far too many results. By narrowing your search strategy you can reduce the number of results to a more manageable level. One method is to use more specific terms. For example instead of searching for information on the history of art, narrow your topic to art from a particular region of the world.  Additional suggestions for narrowing a search can be found at UnlockingResearch.
