What is the best way to search Explore?
If you know you are looking for a particular type of material, we
recommend limiting your search to that type of material before entering
your search terms. E.g. if you know you are looking for a library book,
select Library catalogue from the drop-down list before typing your
search.
If you are looking for the most relevant information (of
any type) on a particular topic, simply type your search terms into the
box and then look at your results. You can later narrow down your search
results by type of material (e.g. UCL library books) if you wish,
simply by clicking on one of the links to the left of the results.
How are Explore's search results ranked?
Explore uses a complex ranking called ScholarRank which is tailored to the academic environment. It starts by ranking results according to the presence of your search terms in their author/title etc. Then it ranks materials more highly if they are known to be more well-respected/used by academic users.
