ABSTRACT Objective: to present a guideline for the development of search strategies aimed at identifying the best evidence in the health field. Method: theoretical reflection based on a critical review of the literature and the authors' experience, identifying consensus on existing methodologies and best practices in the development of search strategies. Results: The guideline includes eight essential stages, from preliminary reading and definition of the problem to documentation of the search. It provides instructions for identifying keywords, using terms in thesauruses, combining Boolean operators and adapting to different databases. It is also includes pilot tests for adjustments and promotes transparency, optimizing the identification of the best health evidence as well as improving the quality of literature reviews. Conclusion:s The proposal presents a practical framework for developing search strategies, providing a clear guide for optimizing research and synthesis of health evidence, with the emphasis on practical applicability.
