We can optimize our search in the following manner:

1. Type "From greenhouse to icehouse: The marine Eocene-Oligocene transition" in the search box

2. Search in the " Title" field

The same approach can be used in any library, with just the diffence of its syntax, some libraries might provide up-front checkbox options to select in which field (title, text, author, publisher etc) one wants to search in, while in others one have to use specific commands.

For instance, if we use the advance search in google we can write the following.

allintext:"From greenhouse to icehouse: The marine Eocene-Oligocene transition"
