DTU Library has implemented improvements to the standard search engine used in DTU Findit.
DTU Findit
To help you understand the result of your search, we now show you exactly how your search string is interpreted when using the AND / OR / NOT operators.
If in a search you use e.g. AND together with OR, an interpretation of the search will now be shown above the search result with parentheses inserted to group the used search terms - see the image above.
You can copy, expand and adjust this interpretation of your search to optimize your subsequent searches and get a more accurate result.
You can of course group the search terms in parentheses in a search yourself - as before.
