Ovid Universal Search™

OvidSP’s Exclusive Cross-Platform Search Solution

Ovid continues to transform how users search for electronic scholarly literature. Ovid Universal Search is an innovative, ground-breaking solution that makes searching faster, more powerful, and more efficient, by enabling you to search content resources across multiple platforms using just one interface — OvidSP or Nursing@Ovid.

With a single search query you can retrieve results from all your subscribed holdings and display them within OvidSP or Nursing@Ovid. That means you don’t have to spend time working with multiple platforms, going through numerous steps and clicks to get your results. Only Ovid Universal Search offers true cross-platform searching fully integrated into the architecture of one platform.

• De-duplicate your non-Ovid Universal Search results
  
• Link seamlessly to full-text resources from Universal Search results (when available)
  
• Customize the display of Universal Search results—view all results in one set or multiple sets
  
• View similar displays of OvidSP and non-Ovid uniform records; both sets include key data such as title, author, publication, and more
  
• Use trusted OvidSP search and workflow tools for non-Ovid search results
  
• Optimize searching non-Ovid platforms with Basic Search, which employs unique term expansion capabilities to give you a broad-based search
