Search filters or hedges are search strategies that include a series of pre-elaborated free text terms/text words/phrases and subject headings for a given concept, idea, or study design. Though the terms "search filters" and "hedges" may be used interchangeably, search filters refer to methods that refine static concepts, such as study design, whereas hedges deal with subject materials.

The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.
The land acknowledgement used at UC Santa Cruz was developed in partnership with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Chairman and the Amah Mutsun Relearning Program at the UCSC Arboretum.
