Basic Search: Step 5
If you had clicked on the yellow 
button in the live database, you would have noticed the number of articles found at the
top of your results list:
For this search more than 3000 articles were retrieved. This is too many to read or even look at but your first results list can still be useful. There is always a chance that you may find a few relevant articles in the first 10 or 20 articles displayed on the first and second screen.
Using the search options discussed can limit your results number!
The next section of this tutorial, "Narrowing a Search," will show you how to get a smaller number of articles that will be more relevant to your search beyond the search limits previously discussed.
