PICOT Search Enhancements
March 2025

The PICOT guided search tool has been updated in the following ways: Descriptive text has been added that helps busy medical users understand how to run a PICOT search, with a link to an updated Connect page; a “Clear all” button was added to clear all PICOT search boxes; and the Boolean operator inserted between “Intervention” and “Comparison” changed from OR to AND, so the search string displays on the Advanced Search page as follows: Population/Problem AND (Intervention AND Comparison) AND Outcome AND Time. Users are welcome to modify this prior to running the search, by manually changing the search query on the Advanced Search page.

The PICOT tool is disabled by default. However, customers or EBSCO Support can enable it via the Configuration module in 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.

Title + Abstract Field Code
March 2025

A new field code (search tag) has been added to select EBSCOhost databases: XB searches both the Title and the Abstract simultaneously in Academic Search (all versions), CINAHL (all versions), Medline (all versions), Health Business (all versions), SPORTDiscus (all versions), APA PsycInfo, PsycBooks, PsycTherapy, and PsycExtra. APA PsycArticles and PsycTests will receive it by July 2025. Command line searching with XB is supported by some EDS partner databases as well.

XB will appear in the Field Code drop-down list when searching applicable individual databases in an EBSCOhost profile. In multi-database EBSCOhost searches and any EDS profile, only common field codes will display, excluding XB. Note that typing XB into a command line search for an unsupported database will treat XB as a keyword search which will provide skewed results. We recommend using XB only in single-database searches.
