Using the Full display for Bursitis, let's build a search strategy within the MeSH database for citations about the diagnosis of bursitis in the knee joint.

• Step 1: Check the Diagnosis subheading.
  
  
• Step 2: Select Search Box with AND from the Send to menu. The term with any specifications will appear in the Search Box.
  
  
• Step 3: To add additional terms to this strategy, continue searching the MeSH database and add terms to the Search Boxes using the Send to Search Box menu. Enter knee joint in the Query box, click Go.
  
  
• Step 4 : Let's restrict to citations where the major focus of the article is knee joints and then add this term to the strategy. Click in the check box for: Restrict Search to Major Topics only.
  
  
• Step 5 : Select Search Box with AND from the Send to menu.
  
  
• Step 6 : Now the search is built and ready to be run in PubMed. Click the Search PubMed button below the Search box to send the strategy to PubMed.
