NAME

       entrez-phrase-search - search NCBI Entrez for phrases

SYNOPSIS

       entrez-phrase-search [-help] [-count[s]] [-string] [-db name] [-database name] [-field name] query

DESCRIPTION

       entrez-phrase-search is an edirect(1) esearch(1) wrapper script that searches an NCBI Entrez database for
       a phrase rather than discrete keywords.  It works by breaking the query up into pairs of  adjacent  words
       (disregarding  connecting  words  like  "the")  and  intersecting  searches  for  word  pairs that appear
       reasonably often.
