Wherever a multi-line (advanced) search exists, you can use this strategy. What have I done here?

I often put quotation marks around phrases when I am sure I want those words to be searched exactly that way
Each line represents an aspect of my topic and I devote each line to one aspect. Below, one line is devoted to the idea of gender-neutrality, one is devoted to the specific scripture I am interested in and the last is about translation.
When I separate my topic like this onto lines, I can divide alternate terms with OR. This is helpful when I am not sure which term someone may use so I want the database to find any of them, but only one need be present.
An asterisk * is helpful if there are alternate endings to a word (translate, translation, translating, translator).

Library 'all in one' search
Search anything, narrow to materials you want. You will get a lot of results, so brainstorm better keywords to narrow.
