I just heard back from Gale this morning on the difference between Basic Search and Advanced: Keyword search. Here's what they said:
“Basic Search” performs a full-text keyword and ranked multi-index search. The broader set of indices have been selected and ‘tuned’ to the content of the database. These indices include elements of the content such as article title, assigned subject terms, and currency.
The “Keyword Search” under the Advanced Search provides results where the exact search term appears within the article title or first 200 words of the article. If the search term is farther in the article it would not be returned in results list.
