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.

Search 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).

If you want to refine your search results, you can choose to display the results of only one of the facets shown on the right side. The filters to limit your results will change depending on the chosen area.

Search results

If you are satisfied with your search results you can click on on of the links or download the results. If you choose to do the latter, please click on the download symbol shown in the following figure.

VIVO allows you to download search results as XML or CSV file. You can change the number of records on the right side by using a slider. Download starts after clicking on "download results in * format".
