Start with a simple topic sentence, then pick out your key words.

Use “or” between words to get articles that include either word.
Use “not” if there is a word you do not want included.
Use “near” if you are looking for anything similar.
For standards of care issues search the date of the issue, 2 years before and 1 year after.
For causation issues use up to date information.
