NAME

       entrez-phrase-search - search NCBI Entrez for phrases (DEPRECATED)

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Note:  entrez-phrase-search  will  not  appear in future releases of NCBI Entrez Direct.  Instead, please
       either run esearch  normally  or  establish  a  local  archive  via  archive-pubmed  and  search  it  via
       phrase-search.

       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.
