Multifile Searching

Multifile Search is a powerful tool that allows users to search multiple databases simultaneously. Multifile searching allows users to create searches that query several Ovid databases concurrently with the added benefit of 'deduping' - purging duplicate records from search results. While in Multifile, users can still take advantage of the database-specific Ovid features to which they have become accustomed, including vocabulary tools and limits.

Streamlined & Effective
Multifile Searching streamlines the search process, changing what can be a repetitive and time-consuming process into one that is quick, easy and precise. For example, without multifile searching available, a user might run the same search several times in different databases, dealing with each database search set separately. With Multifile and Deduping enabled, the same user can select several needed databases from the Database Selection screen, run the search once against all of those databases, remove duplicates (that is, the citations appearing in more than one database) and customize the search results. The user finishes quickly with one search set that includes appropriate results from multiple databases.
