Searching by proximity Topic allows you to search for words using the proximity operators such as phrase , sentence , and paragraph . The phrase operator is used by default if you separate your keywords with spaces. The other proximity operators must be defined with the words surrounded by angle brackets. Searching by date is a very useful and flexible feature of Topic databases. Don't forget to sort by date and click the current box for date range.
Category denotes the type of news received by the database.
If you are interested in financial stories only then the Financial Wire category could be used to refine your search. Agency refers to the originating source of the news item. A combined search of minserv and the minister's name will retrieve all ministerial press releases from that minister.
