How-to

Smart Search is the new AI functionality in SCOUT that will help you streamline your topic queries, enhancing your experience to be quicker and more intuitive.

In contrast to Boolean queries, which are more complex to construct due to the need for precision and the use of various operators, Smart Search utilizes LLM-based technologies. These technologies comprehend the contextual meaning of your searches, providing more relevant and precise results.

• You can access Smart Search from the SCOUT Hub.

• Filter and sort your search results to quickly find the most relevant information.
• Additionally, you can bookmark items to your existing SCOUT Projects. While saving new Smart searches to your Portfolio is not yet available, all Portfolio functionalities, including alerts, will be available in the next release.

Remarks

• Our subject matter experts at MAPEGY have conducted acceptance tests showing that Smart Search delivers more relevant results. However, in this initial version you may occasionally encounter unexpected outcomes in some of your searches.
  In such cases, we recommend using both Expert and Smart Search together for the time being in order to achieve a more comprehensive overview of your topic.
  
  To be more specific, you may come across publications with identical titles that appear to be duplicates. These documents have different IDs, which typically indicate different applications, countries, or publications. In the case of patents, they are classified as part of the same family but listed as separate entries.
  ‍
• Smart Search allows you to search for Topics. Use Expert Search for your Organization queries.
  ‍‍
• Smart Search is not supported within the Matrix. It's not possible yet to combine two Smart Searches or mix Smart Search with Expert Search at the moment. To fill the Matrix, please use Expert Search instead.

Please note that we are currently addressing this and will release more updates soon.
