The experimental nuclear reaction data compiled in the EXFOR library are loaded to databases and accessed by users. The EXFOR library covers not only the cross section but also various other nuclear reaction quantities such as fission yield and thick target yield. It is not always trivial to find an appropriate set of keywords extracting the data sets of interest neither too many or too few. Sometimes users are too specific in their queries, and find nothing in the database. This article presents some examples of EXFOR retrievals for better access to the databases.
