You may want to supplement your Database searching with Google Scholar. It searches across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations.
The advanced search includes many options, including the ability to limit by author, title, publication fields, date, country, etc. To access Google Scholar advanced search, click the down-arrow on the right side of the search bar.
