The reason the results are fewer than expected is because the default now is to _not_ search full text, just the high-level metadata.

<p class="MsoNormal">This is interesting! I just had a student today struggling with the same thing, even when we expanded the databases we were using to include Academic Search and ERIC. I don’t know if it’s just the search terms we’re using, or a more widespread
