Science & Health Search Back to Help
The Discovering Collection Science & Health Search allows you to search a specific set of data that is limited to that particular subject. You may select Science & Health search from the the Discovering Collection home page or from the top navigation bar on all other pages in the product.
To use the Science & Health search select either All, Health, or Science from the pull-down menu (All is the default option). A keyword must also be entered into the search box below before you can execute a search. If you do not enter a keyword error message will appear reminding you to do so. The keyword search box will only allow 20 characters to be keyed into it.
You will also have the option of limiting your search results to a particular document type such as Audio, Biography, Image, Topic Overview, and Video. The default is Any. You also have the option of choosing how many results you would like to show up per page. The choices are 10, 20, 30, 50, and 100.
Documents are grouped by data type into the following tabs: Reference, Primary Documents, and Multimedia. Clicking on the labeled tabs allows you to choose the type of document you wish to see. The results list will display the title of the document and its source. Reference and Primary Documents will display according to their relevancy rankings (how many times the term appears in the article). Multimedia results will display alphabetically. You can view the different data type results by clicking on the labeled tab. If the search does not find any results for a specific data type, the tab will be "grayed out" and will not work.
