The global search dialog covers two worlds. The Scholardemia source searches everything you can see on the platform, and the Academic web source searches the wider scholarly index of papers, people, institutions, and sources.
Narrow with scopes
New searches start in your current page’s context. Widen inside the dialog or select a different scope. On the Scholardemia source the scopes include:
- People, Documents, Publications, and Papers,
- Events, Calendar, Learning, and Projects,
- Careers, Data, Inbox, Bookmarks, Reviews, and Issues.
On the Academic web source the scopes are Papers, People, Institutions, and Sources.
Filters worth knowing
Every search can be sorted and limited by date. Scholardemia-source searches add a relation filter: everything visible to you, only things you own, things shared with you, or things you have saved. That last one turns search into a fast way back to a half-remembered bookmark.
Closing search or opening a result keeps your query, scope, filters, and place in the results. Reopen with the dock magnifier or Cmd/Ctrl+K to continue. Choose New search hereto start afresh in the page you are now visiting. Your search settings also survive a reload in the same tab while signed in.
Where results lead
People results on the Scholardemia source open their profiles; documents, events, and the rest open in their own tools. Academic web results open reference pages on the platform for the underlying scholarly records, so you can explore an author or institution before following up elsewhere.
