The full-page display gives you an overview of the topic area, allowing you to skim through and discover other interesting articles.

expaper expaper offers you not just two, but three different search options:

Quick Search

• Simply enter your search term in the top left-hand corner → press ENTER and select the relevant articles from the list of results.
• Compound terms should be enclosed in double quotes: For example, entering “Frankfurter Würstchen” will only display articles that include this exact phrase.
• If you omit the quotation marks, all pages containing either the word “Frankfurter” or “Würstchen” will be displayed.
• Using AND as a connector retrieves pages where the words “Frankfurter” or “Würstchen” appear somewhere, even within unrelated articles.

Search profiles

To save yourself from performing repetitive search queries every day, you can save your search terms in search profiles.

Our tip: create several search profiles. This improves the overview and allows you to easily activate and deactivate individual profiles as needed.

Example of a search profile: “renewable energy” OR “sustainable energy”. This finds all articles about renewable or sustainable forms of energy.

To be sure you capture all variations, include plural or alternative spellings: “climate model” OR “climate models” OR “climate modelling”.

However, sometimes the search terms are not directly adjacent to each other. In this case, you can use proximity variables. For example, When words are not right next to each other, use proximity operators: “data privacy”~10 finds results where the two words appear within 10 characters of each other.

If you would like to determine whether a pair of terms is likely to appear in the same article, you would need to input something like: “music education”~50 OR ”education music”~50. This means that the words music and education must not be more than 50 characters apart. However, the value of 50 is only an approximate threshold, and it is still possible that the results may refer to terms located in adjacent articles.

Our tip: This help button appears when the search profile is open!
