PARAGRAPH Operator

Finds documents that include all of your search terms within a paragraph. Valid search terms are two or more words or phrases. You can specify search terms in a sequential or a random order. Documents are returned as long as the search terms appear in the same paragraph.

To retrieve relevance-ranked documents that contain stemmed variations of the word "drug" and the phrase "cancer treating" within the same paragraph, you can enter the following:

drug <PARAGRAPH> cancer treating

To search for three or more words or phrases within a single paragraph, you must use the PARAGRAPH operator between each word or phrase. For example:

drug <PARAGRAPH> cancer treating <PARAGRAPH> cancer cure

You can use the PARAGRAPH operator with the ORDER modifier to perform ordered proximity searches.
