One search box covers the whole platform: documents, people, events, publications, projects, messages, and more. You can open it from anywhere in the app.
Open search from anywhere
- Press Ctrl + K (Windows/Linux) or ⌘ K (Mac). It works even while you are typing in a text field.
- Select the magnifier in the dock.
Narrow the results
A new search starts in the context of your current page. The scope selector lets you widen or focus the results: documents, people, events, publications, projects, your inbox, bookmarks, and more. Most scopes offer additional filters once selected, so you can, for example, limit events to a date range.
Search also has an external mode that looks beyond your workspace to published papers, researchers, and institutions in the wider scholarly record, which is useful when the thing you are looking for is not on Scholardemia yet.
Reopening search resumes your previous query, filters, original context, and result position, even after visiting a result. Use New search here to start in your new page’s context. Selecting Academic web explicitly widens discovery beyond Scholardemia.
