Searching

The search function allows to discover the contents of a VIVO. In a standard VIVO there is a search slot on the start page. It can usually be found at the top of every other page. Here you can enter search terms.

Info
titleSeach tips
  • Keep it simple! Use short, single terms unless your searches are returning too many results.
  • Use quotes to search for an entire phrase -- e.g., "protein folding".
  • Except for boolean operators, searches are not case-sensitive, so "Geneva" and "geneva" are equivalent
  • If you are unsure of the correct spelling, put ~ at the end of your search term -- e.g., cabage~ finds cabbage, steven~ finds Stephen and Stefan (as well as other similar names).
