~ Search and Retrieval Improvements Added to the EBSCOhost® Platform Include Natural Language Searching to Greatly Enhance the User Experience ~
EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO) has launched new display and searching technology designed to improve the user experience. The new system supports natural language searching for scientific formulas and provides users with the ability to store and show html markup allowing display of scientific formulas. The new database architecture means Article names, Abstracts and Key Phrase Headings within citations will contain scientific formulas:
Theoretical study on N2+, P2+, As2+, NP+, NAs+, and PAs+: Hyperfine coupling constants for 12Σ(g)+, and electron-sping-factors for 12Σg+/1,22Σu+(X2+) and 1,22Σ+(XY+) states. Bruna, P.J.; Grein, F. In: Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy, Aug. 2005, vol.232, no.2, pp. 137-50, Journal Paper. (AN: 8727739).
With natural language searching, researchers will find it easier to find relevant information within their searches. For instance, those searching for records related to water are now able to enter “H20” to return the desired records.
Inspec® is the first of many databases to utilize this new database architecture.
