Hi All,</div>

My EBSCO ticket is slowly making its way through the support center, but I was wondering if any of you super searchers can verify the weird results we're seeing in PsycInfo via EBSCOhost new UI. Full details below.</div>

Thanks for any insight!</div>

Our librarians reported unexpected behavior and numbers of results when using the PsycINFO search for a systematic review. Is there an issue with the logic or are these searches malfunctioning? <br>
<br>
This is one search block that is only giving us 2 results:<br>
((DE "Expectant Mothers") OR (DE Pregnancy) OR (DE "Pregnancy Outcomes") OR (DE "Obstetrical Complications") OR (DE "Premature Birth") OR (XB “pregnan*”) OR (XB gestation*) OR (DE Fertility) OR (DE "Fertility Enhancement") OR (DE "Infertility") OR (XB fertilit*) OR
(XB infertilit*) OR (XB "premature birth*") OR (XB "expecting mother*" ) OR (XB "pregnant adult*") OR (XB "high risk pregnanc*") OR (XB "fertility treat*") OR (XB "infertility treat*") OR (DE Sexual Reproduction) OR (DE "Reproductive Health") OR (DE "Reproductive
Health Care") OR (DE "Reproductive Technology") OR (DE "Sterilization (Sex)") OR ((XB reproduc*) AND ((XB health*) OR (XB medicine) OR (XB behavior*) OR (XB technique*) OR (XB technolog*) OR (XB histor*) OR (XB steriliz*))) OR (DE Parents) OR (DE Parenting) OR (XB
parent*) OR (DE Mothers) OR (XB mother*))<br>
<br>
If only include the first five descriptors, I get 2530:<br>
(DE "Expectant Mothers") OR (DE Pregnancy) OR (DE "Pregnancy Outcomes") OR (DE "Obstetrical Complications") OR (DE "Premature Birth")<br>
<br>
Just searching (XB “pregnan*”) gives me 58,930.<br>
<br>
Now if I try to put those two searches together with OR, I get 4 results!<br>
(DE "Expectant Mothers") OR (DE Pregnancy) OR (DE "Pregnancy Outcomes") OR (DE "Obstetrical Complications") OR (DE "Premature Birth") OR (XB “pregnan*”) </div>
