New Proximity Search Feature Now Available in PubMed

PubMed has a brand-new feature! With proximity search, you can now search for multiple terms appearing in any order within a specified distance of one another in the [Title] or [Title/Abstract] fields.



Example

Search PubMed for citations with the terms "rationing" and "healthcare" appearing within 2 words of each other--in the Title field:

https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi?db=pubmed&term=%22hip+pain%22[Title/Abstract:~2]<https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi?db=pubmed&term=%22hip+pain%22%5bTitle/Abstract:~2%5d>
