  • Use ‘and’ to link two objects you are searching for so that you only find pages that have both keywords. For example: ‘Serbia 'and' SEDP’
  • Use ‘not‘ to narrow your search. If you would like to search for Democratization projects in Montenegro but not in Podgorica, type in: ‘Democratization 'and' Montenegro 'not' Podgorica’
  • Use 'or' when you are not entirely sure of a term in order to improve your chances of finding what you want: SEDP 'or' CEDP
