Hot Words Functionality
Q: When I search for “ebsco”, I get records for many different journal titles that are available through EbscoHost, but I don’t get a record to link to Ebsco directly.
A: Ideally, when you are searching for a known item, it’s reasonable to expect that it will be at the top of the list. We can address issues like this by tweaking the data locally, or by tweaking the relevance ranking algorithm (which falls under product development by the vendor). To address this issue, we’ve locally added “hot word” functionality for resources that are commonly searched. This functionally puts a link to the resource above the result set.
