Natural Language Searching

April 18, 202322

Natural Language Searching

Ovid Natural Language uses four steps to help you search Ovid Books more thoroughly:

Natural Language analysis Synonym Expansion Passage Searching Relevance Ranking

April 18, 202323

Natural Language Analysis & Synonym Expansion

Ovid filters to eliminate irrelevant terms and expands each concept using word variants taken from a proprietary medical lexicon.

Obtain best results by: Stating your question as concisely as possible Using nouns more than verbs Avoiding common spelling errors – Spell Check

When searching Books@Ovid, the software automatically expands your query:

Singular and plural forms of your search terms (truncation ) Strong synonyms from a lexicon Hyponyms (car is a hyponym of vehicle) Acronyms (like an abbreviation) Alternative spellings (British or US English)

April 18, 202324

Passage Searching & Relevance Ranking

Search results involve passages of text which include your search terms (and/or their synonyms). The closer the terms are to one another, the more relevant the results are likely to be.

Star Scores indicate how relevant passages are to your question. ***** All search concepts are present and complete **** All concepts are present but some are incomplete *** One concept is missing ** Two concepts are missing * More than two concepts are missing
