Because the source is Science Online, the results are limited in terms of topics. If the topic you are searching is not directly related to science, it is unlikely you will find an article with that as the topic. When a search is made, the results that come up are ones with the word you searched in the article and/or the title. For example, when the word Euthanasia is searched on Science Online, only 10 results come up. However, when the word biology is searched on Science Online, 1713 results come up. This is because Science Online is a database for primarily science related articles.
