## Too few search results: what to do?

What you can do:

- Is your topic/research question too specific? Broaden your topic/research question.
- Are your search terms too specific? Use broader search terms.
- Not enough synonyms? Try to think of more synonyms for your search terms.
- Is the syntax of your search query correct? Check that you are using quotation marks, brackets, OR, and AND correctly.
- Too many search elements? See if you can remove a search element.
