Quick Search "Quick Search" often refers to an option that allows you to search across several databases (both library catalogs and research databases) simultaneously. |

| Quick Search@OhioLINK allows you to search several databases simultaneously. OhioLINK's Quick Search allows you to search either pre-selected clusters of OhioLINK databases or to self-select your own clusters of databases. | |||||||||||||||||||
|
Quick Search@OhioLINK can be a good place to begin a search. It will return a maximum of 30 results from each of the databases and rank the results by relevancy. Additionally, you will be able to tell which databases have the most information and can move from QuickSearch into a specific database. |

| EBSCOhost, a database provider, also offers a multiple database searching option limited to its own databases. Quick Search@OhioLINK includes the EBSCOhost databases in its clusters. | |||||||||||||||||||

Disadvantages? The disadvantages of searching across several databases simultaneously are that it is difficult to enter a complex searches (in which you need to combine several terms) and that the search results are often superficial, not comprehensive. |
