UpToDate Search Capabilities Expanded!

UpToDate implemented some changes that will help you find the information you need faster.

1. Search multiple concepts at a time
2. View the topic review indexes from the results screen
3. See other terms suggested at the top of your results screen
   

1. UpToDate now allows you to search on multiple concepts at the same time (e.g. migraine and stroke). In the past, you were forced to search with only one concept and then narrow the results by adding another concept. Being able to type in multiple concepts in the search box saves you time!

2. See anything different about the search results screen? You'll still see the results listing the topic reviews, but as you mouse over the titles, you'll see the topic outlines in the same screen on the right. This allows you to quickly scan over the index, deciding which topic review fits your needs.

3. UpToDate is getting smarter! You may notice after you do a search that a broader term may be listed at the top of your search results. For example, if you decided to add contraceptives to your search of stroke and migraine, UpToDate would suggest that you consider the broader term oral contraceptives. Click on that term if you'd like to switch terms.
