<h3 id="boolean-operators">Boolean operators</h3>
<p>You can modify your search results by including the following terms in your query:</p>
<ol>
<li><span class="strong">OR</span> finds records that contain at least one of the terms,</li>
<li><span class="strong">AND</span> (serves as a default operator) narrows the search results by finding only records that contain all terms,</li>
<li><span class="strong">NOT</span> in front of the search term narrows the search by excluding records matching this term.</li>
</ol>
<p>Parentheses are used to construct complex queries, for example: <a target="_blank" title="Complex query example" href="/sra?term=%28%28tumor%5BAll%20Fields%5D%20AND%20head%5BAll%20Fields%5D%29%20OR%20%28tumor%5BAll%20Fields%5D%20AND%20neck%5BAll%20Fields%5D%29%29%20NOT%20%22cell%20line%22%5BAll%20Fields%5D">((tumor AND head) OR (tumor AND neck)) NOT "cell line"</a>.</p>
<p>Search result page always has a <span class="strong">Search details</span> section that shows underlying query or <span class="strong">query translation</span>, which will help you interpret your results and refine your query.</p>
<h3 id="search-by-accession">Search by accession</h3>
<p>There are four hierarchical levels of SRA entities and their accessions:</p>
<ol>
<li><span class="strong">STUDY</span> with accessions in the form of SRP#, ERP#, or DRP#</li>
<li><span class="strong">SAMPLE</span> with accessions in the form of SRS#, ERS#, or DRS#</li>
<li><span class="strong">EXPERIMENT</span> with accessions in the form of SRX#, ERX#, or DRX#</li>
<li><span class="strong">RUN</span> with accessions in the form of SRR#, ERR#, or DRR#</li>
</ol>
<p>The first letter in the accession makes a notation of the source database - SRA, EBI, or DDBJ correspondingly.</p>
<p>Examples of searches by accession:</p>
<ul>
<li>Find one specific study: <a target="_blank" title="Find 1 specific study, new window" href="/sra/?term=SRP006081">SRP006081</a></li>
<li>Find studies with consecutive accessions using wild card: <a target="_blank" title="Find studies with consecutive accessions using wild card, new window" href="/sra/?term=SRP00608*">SRP00608*</a></li>
<li>Find two specific studies: <a target="_blank" title="Find 2 specific studies, new window" href="/sra/?term=SRP006081+OR+SRP006083">SRP006081 OR SRP006083</a></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="search-by-words-or-phrases-using">Search by words or phrases using NCBI's Entrez search engine</h3>
<p>To search by words simply type them in the search text field, for example: <a target="_blank" title="cancer cell line search, new window" href="/sra/?term=cancer+cell+line">cancer cell line</a>.</p>
<p>To search by exact word combination (phrase) enclose it in quotation marks, for example: <a target="_blank" title="Cancer cell line search, new window" href="/sra/?term=%22cancer+cell+line%22">"cancer cell line"</a>.</p>
