Advanced search in google scholar

Post by apap »

Is it possible to do an advanced search in google scholar? If not, are you planning to make this possible in the future?

Also, a cool feature on Sente (when it was working) is to highlight references and directly open a google scholar search. That would also be great to have.

Thanks, Andreas

Yes, we are going to implement GS advanced search feature.
What metadata does Sente use for searching GS? Just the title?

Sente allows searches by directly taking you to a large number of search sites (including GS). It also allows you to add your own search sites, e.g., specific journals you regularly use. So you get to use whatever metatadata the search site offers, e.g., in GS it allows you to do author, year range, title, journal, specific title, words, anywhere in article.

Sente offers a really powerful iPad experience and many of its features are probably worth incorporating but due to the fact that it seems to have gone into maintenance mode I have been working with Bookends but hoping that some of these good features will be added.
