What words does the search find in the app? (Scientific Search Engine)

Modified on Mon, 25 Apr 2022 at 11:37 AM

Global Search

The search is a highly advanced scientific search engine. It supports multiple terms, exact matches, and exclusion terms across all tables (e.g. Sessions, Speakers, Media, Exhibitors) in the following fields:

  • Sessions: titles, filters, location, description, session type fields
  • Speakers: names, titles, filter, organization
  • Media: titles, filters, description, subtitles
    • If your speakers have uploaded PDFs via the speaker portal and the PDFs contained text, this content will also be searched. This makes it easy for your meeting attendees to find the ePosters they are looking for. 
  • Exhibitors: titles, filters, location, description, type


Depending on the product you purchased, you can train your search engine so that a user typing in coronavirus finds all presentations about Covid-19 and all sessions on SARS-CoV2 for example. 


FYI: A wildcard search is accomplished by simply entering the first characters of a word. The app will search for terms that begin with these characters. 

Mid-word wildcard search is currently not supported.


Individual Table Searches

The individual table searches limit the search to the visible content in a detail view for that table. 

For example, if you navigated to a list of sessions like the program by day, you can search for the following and find sessions that contain results: 

  1. Sessions: titles, filters, location, description, session type fields
  2. Speakers: names, titles, organization
  3. Media: titles
  4. Exhibitor: titles
