Searching Within a Publication/All Editions

The Search sidebar that appears on the About this Publication, eTable of Contents, eBook Index and List of Illustrations pages gives you the additional option to search within the publication (refer to the sample screen print at the bottom of this page for an example). Selecting to search within this publication means the system will perform an Advanced Search using the Keyword and Publication Title indexes. When your library or institution subscribes to more than one edition of the publication, you can cross-search by selecting one of the following options:

• all editions: lets you search across all editions when documents have been published in multiple editions and/or have supplements (such as series that are updated or have new titles added on an ongoing basis)
• all volumes in this edition: lets you search across a multi-volume publication that has only one edition
• within this volume: performs a more focused search strictly in within the volume currently referenced
