There are several ways to search for articles on bmj.com.

1. Use the quick search box at the top right of any page to search for words (including authors’ names) appearing in an article.

2. Alternatively, the advanced search option allows separate searching by author’s name, keyword, or citation.

The advanced search option also allows you to extend your search across over 1000 other journals hosted by HighWire Press.

3. Using the search box on the Research, Education, News, and Comment pages allows searches to be restricted to articles belonging to those sections.

For example, on the Education page at the top of the second column you'll see a box labelled "All Education." In the box there's a "Limit by" option. You can choose e.g. "Clinical review," click on "Go" and get all the clinical reviews. The search box looks like this:

4. More detailed help with searching can be found within the help section.

5. An enhanced feature of the bmj.com search function is the Instant Index tool (using Vivissimo clustering technology). If your search produces more than 50 results you will see an Instant Index for your search on the top right of the screen. 

• The clustered subject categories appear in the left panel, and the corresponding citations in the right panel.
• The subject folders are sorted beginning with the largest category first, and the number of citations associated with each subject is in parentheses.
• Click on a subject category of interest, and the right pane will display the associated citations.
• A plus sign [+] in front of a category indicates that there are sub-topics available. Click on the plus sign to display these sub-topics
