__Advanced Search__ __Search Options Box__- Search Modes:Boolean/Phrase,Find all my search terms, Find any of my search terms, Smart Text Searching Link, Apply related words,and search within the full text of the articles. __Limit your Results-__ Choose any of the following to limit your results: Full Text, Publication Type, and Document Type. If you decide to limit your results through the Publication Type, you can choose from a bunch of different categories including: Primary Source Document, Biography, Pamphlet, Periodical, Newspaper, Book, News Wire, Transcript, or Government Document. When using the Document Type the search can be narrowed even further to Abstract, Article, Biography, Book Review, Case Study, Editorial, Entertainment Review, Interview, Letter, Literature Review, Obituary, Poem, Poetry Review, Product Review, Recipe, Short Story, or Speech. You can even find images about your topic through the Image Quick View. Another Interesting thing about the Advanced Search is that If your looking for something about a topic published at a certain time, you can research a month or year to find what your looking for. If your also looking for a certain page number, you can research that as well.

​ __Basic Search __ The Search Modes of the Basic Search are the same as the ones in the Advanced Search. The Basic Search is not as specific as the Advanced Search. You can still get images about your topic and you can still narrow your search by finding the month and year something was published. When researching topics with the basic search try to use all the options to narrow your results to get the most up to date information.

__**Visual Search**__ The visual search is very different from the basic and advanced search. There is only two search options: Full Text and Peer Reviewed. the visual search takes your search through a bunch of different steps to narrow the search. It groups your topic with other topics related to the same subject. Once you click on what your researching, it then takes you into more categories to narrow the search futher. The steps of the visual search consist of Group Results, Sort Results, Filter Results by date, and Display Style. Once you go through all the steps you get the most specific information that you asked for.  __Search Results__ When we researched our topic of Euthanasia, we got about 2447 results. However when we narrowed the search using the Advanced Search we got ten results, We limited the results by looking for books published between 2006-2009 about Euthanasia. On the results page the 10 results were sorted by relevance, however the results can also be sorted by the title. The advanced search also brought up a picture for each result.
