We have added a "Search within" feature to the topic browse category pages allowing users to search for specific topics. We have also added logic to only show the Alpha Browse (A-Z) buttons when there are 100 or more topics on a given category page, and to force the "List view" when there are 100 or more topics on a given category page.
Library administrators can change the default display to show the full or abbreviated abstract on the results page using a setting in the Configuration module of EBSCO Experience Manager. Users still have the ability to show the full or abbreviated abstract in the user interface.
Library administrators can change the number of records that display on the results list using a setting in the Configuration module of EBSCO Experience Manager.

Related Items, previously only available on select Explora interfaces, has been added to all interfaces including EDS and EBSCOhost. This feature shows on both the detailed record and in the full text viewer and lists all other articles included in the same issue or edition of the record you are currently viewing, serving as a way to navigate through articles and chapters in a given issue.
Segmented search results have been added for CINAHL Complete, CINAHL Plus, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, and CINAHL Ultimate. This shows result list segments for “All results,” “Evidence-based care sheets,” “Quick lessons” and “Videos” when one or more of these databases is selected for searching in EBSCOhost.
This work will enable the video panel to show to users at the bottom of the Topic Browse Landing Page (if applicable) in Explora. With a video element on the topic browse landing page, users are presented with an additional content type to search for relevant information. This is in addition to the 'Video' tab found at the top of the results list and/or the video panel at the bottom of the results.
Situational placards will be made available in Biography Reference Ultimate and Literary Reference Ultimate which mimic the existing exact match placard functionality, but for topics from the topic browse experience. These placards utilize different search logic for each placard and provide users with relevant starting information about popular topics while increasing visibility of the topic pages/browse experience via the search result list.
Personalized users can add up to 50 records at a time to a Project of their choice, whether existing or new, directly from the results page
Records on the results page in EBSCO Discovery Service and EBSCOhost will be numbered to make navigating results simpler and more intuitive.

Users of Points of View and Read It! on Explora will soon have a new Topic Page experience which highlights related content collections for Points of View Point/Counterpoint articles and Read It! comprehension tests.
