Alternating POVs wherein the missing- lost, captured, trapped- character is absolutely, desolately positive no one's coming to find or rescue them and hopelessly resigned to the fact; meanwhile the other characters are frantically searching for them with increasing desperation and unwavering determination, gone nearly mad with worry and hellbent on finding them.

Searching best practices on JSTOR

Hi Tumblr researchers,

As promised, we're going to dive into some best practices for searching on JSTOR. This'll be a long one!

The first thing to note is that JSTOR is not Google, so searches should not be conducted in the same way.

More on that in this video:

Basic Search on JSTOR

To search for exact phrases, enclose the words within quotation marks, like "to be or not to be".

To construct a more effective search, utilize Boolean operators, such as "tea trade" AND china.

Advanced Searching on JSTOR

Utilize the drop-down menus to refine your search parameters, limiting them to the title, author, abstract, or caption text.

Combine search terms using Boolean operators like AND/OR/NOT and NEAR 5/10/25. The NEAR operator finds keyword combinations within 5, 10, or 25 words of each other. It applies only when searching for single keyword combinations, such as "cat NEAR 5 dog," but not for phrases like "domesticated cat" NEAR 5 dog.

Utilize the "Narrow by" options to search for articles exclusively, include/exclude book reviews, narrow your search to a specific time frame or language.

To focus your article search on specific disciplines and titles, select the appropriate checkboxes. Please note that discipline searching is currently limited to journal content, excluding ebooks from the search.

Finding Content You Have Access To

To discover downloadable articles, chapters, and pamphlets for reading, you have the option to narrow down your search to accessible content. Simply navigate to the Advanced Search page and locate the "Select an access type" feature, which offers the following choices:

All Content will show you all of the relevant search results on JSTOR, regardless of whether or not you can access it.

Content I can access will show you content you can download or read online. This will include Early Journal Content and journals/books publishers have made freely available.

Once you've refined your search, simply select an option that aligns with your needs and discover the most relevant items. Additionally, you have the option to further narrow down your search results after conducting an initial search. Look for this option located below the "access type" checkbox, situated at the bottom left-hand side of the page.

Additional resources

For more search recommendations, feel free to explore this page on JSTOR searching. There, you will find information on truncation, wildcards, and proximity, using fields, and metadata hyperlinks.

Will Tumblr posts older than 2017 get indexed for searching?

Answer: Hello, @elemen!

UPDATE: We recently made a change that makes it easier to search for tagged posts from before 2017 using date-based search operators. For example, you can search for “star wars year:2015” to find posts tagged with star wars from 2015. Although it’s limited to only tagged posts, we understand that easier access to older content is important to you, and we’re glad to improve things a little.

It would be great to include all posts older than 2017, but to catalog the first ten years with the new search infrastructure would eat up a huge amount of time and space and require resources we don’t have right now. It’s a shame, but we know that the majority of you do not access posts that old even when we did provide support going back that far. To go back so many years would require a lot of difficult digging because we were not properly indexing posts before that time to begin with.

What are trying to do, however, is focus efforts on improving searching within your blogs—and this is something we have received a lot of feedback from you all. We are also working hard on reducing the amount of spam on Tumblr (which is not an easy task!) for the things you are all actually searching for on the Dashboard.

Thanks for getting in touch, and we hope this helps. Keep the questions coming!
