Article Keyword Search

This reference documents keyword query behavior for biomcp search article.

Keyword behavior

--keyword (-k) is treated as escaped free text and no longer auto-quotes whitespace-containing values.

This allows multi-word keyword retrieval such as:

biomcp search article -k "large language model clinical trials" --limit 5

Phrase behavior for entity filters

Entity-oriented filters retain phrase quoting behavior:

  • --gene
  • --disease
  • --drug
  • --author

Example:

biomcp search article -g "BRAF V600E" --author "Jane Doe" --limit 5

Combined filters

Filters can be combined with date and preprint controls:

biomcp search article -g BRAF -k "immune checkpoint blockade" --since 2024-01-01 --no-preprints --limit 10
