Introducing
SmartText
Searching

Paste an entire article or document into the search box and retrieve a relevant result list

SmartText Explained
• Search any text from any article or document, including:
– articles within EBSCO host
– content from other documents or websites
• The system analyzes each word in the query for how unique it is
• Then, a weight is applied to each word
• Then, a search is initiated using those weights as relevancy controls
• We are considering future enhancements to let users control those weights themselves

Librarians can choose one of two Visual Search options for their library’s default.
