How to Find More Articles
Multiple Word Endings (Truncation)

When you talk about teenagers, you might also call them a teen or teens. To find ARTICLES that use any of these word endings in one step, use TRUNCATION. In Expanded Academic ASAP, the truncation symbol is an asterisk (*).

TEEN* FINDS: JOB* FINDS:
teen job
teens jobs
teenager
teenagers

WATCH OUT! You may pick up unintended results. For example, work* would find work, worker, working but also workstation.
