You can broaden your search and allow you to look for variations of words by using an asterisk after a “root word” (called a truncation or wildcard symbol.)
- For example, searching sport* would bring up the root word "sport," as well as variations such as "sports," "sporting," "sporty," etc.
Such symbols may vary depending on the electronic resource you are searching. You may need to consult the database’s “help” or “search tips” pages.
