NAME¶
entrez-phrase-search - search NCBI Entrez for phrases
SYNOPSIS¶
entrez-phrase-search [-help] [-count[s]] [-string] [-db name] [-database name] [-field name] query
DESCRIPTION¶
entrez-phrase-search is an edirect(1) esearch(1) wrapper script that searches an NCBI Entrez database for a phrase rather than discrete keywords. It works by breaking the query up into pairs of adjacent words (disregarding connecting words like "the") and intersecting searches for word pairs that appear reasonably often.

- -count[s]
- Just print counts for individual word pairs.
- -string
- Just print the final query string.
- -db name (-database name)
- Search the specified Entrez database (default: pubmed).
- -field name
- Search the specified field (default: TIAB, titles + abstracts).
