Use the search widget to run a search query in Engineering Village.

1. Navigate to the Engineering Village search widget.
2. In the search box, enter your search query.
3. Click the magnifying glass icon. The Engineering Village Quick search results page opens in a new window.
4. At this point you can select one of the following options:

   • Enter additional search terms into the Quick search form.
   • Refine your search on the Quick search results page.
   • Return to the search widget page in the previous window.

You can replace the default database and/or include other database parameters into your search widget query.

Using the chart below, replace the database and/or enter additional databases as follows:

1. At the end of the search widget URL, add the following static text: ?database=
2. After the equal sign (=) in the URL, enter the code(s) for all the database(s) that you want to include in your search query. Use commas to separate each code.

   • Although the search widget defaults to the Compendex database, the ‘cpx’ code is overwritten when you add the database parameter, so you must enter the ‘cpx’ code (along with any other database codes you may want to add) if you want to include Compendex in your search query.
3. Press ‘Enter.’ The search widget displays. The updated ‘Databases’ label on the search widget contains the names of the databases that you have appended to the search widget URL.
