 The reasoning behind this recommendation is that you want to capture relevant records while minimizing extra work during Screening (remember, your team will need to manually Screen all results from your Search!). You can always add new/expanded Searches as you proceed, so achieving a high rate of inclusion should be prioritized over comprehensiveness. The reasoning behind this recommendation is that you want to capture relevant records while minimizing extra work during Screening (remember, your team will need to manually Screen all results from your Search!).
