At the main search screen, your recent search results are posted in the Search History.

SHORTCUT
Another way to get the same result is just to type tattersall m*.au. in the search box and enter.

By typing .au. we have specified a search of the author field. The * is the truncation symbol enabling all possible second initials to be searched and retrieved.

The results for both searches should be the same as the first set, just over 400.

To limit this result to the correct M. Tattersall you could either limit by cancer as a subject (exp neoplasms/) or Sydney in the institution field (sydney.in.).

Both initials M and MH are used for Martin Tattersall.
