"Refined terms:" Terms had been refined since the last time this SMQ was discussed. A team member presented searches in the MHRA database, using the refined terms.

agree Kitty Brussaard : Or 'refined search terms' to stay close to the original!

Ja... bedankt ... "refined terms" will do...
neutral Jack den Haan : Hmm... 'refined search' is indeed commonly used in computer science but I think the term usually refers to the algorithms used for searching, not to the terms themselves. 'Refined search terms', as Kitty suggests, would be more accurate IMHO.

The thesaurus will allow a much finer term to be applied to data sets than is currently possible with the ANZLIC subject keywords.
