Fequently Asked Questions

• I clicked on a link within the Medical Subjects Headings section of a review article. After accessing the search results and viewing records, I used the browser's back button to return to the original article, but the screen just displays a "Loading" message.

  Tip: Click the browser's back button a second time and you should be returned to the original article.

• I am using Internet Explorer 5 on a Macintosh System and the Save Search Strategy does not work.

  Tip: The Save Search Strategy feature is not enabled for this configuration.

• While entering a complex search in the Search History feature, I stopped for a short time. When I returned to the search, I could not save my search strategy.

  Tip: Your user session was terminated during the inactive period and your search data has been lost. You will need to login again. When you are entering complex searches, remember to save the search strategy at frequent intervals.

• I clicked on a term within the Medical Subjects Headings section of a review article but no search results were displayed. The MeSH Search feature was loaded instead.

  Tip: A few of the MeSH terms in the Index terms section may not be updated to the most recent MeSH format. Use the MeSH thesaurus to find the most similar term and run a new MeSH search.
