How to Access Search

JoVE's search feature allows you to find articles, videos, and resources across our platform using keywords or natural language queries. You can type in questions directly, such as "How do I perform DNA extraction?" to get results tailored to your needs. Here is how to access search across JoVE:

1. Homepage Search Bar: Quickly access search from the homepage, where you can enter keywords or questions

2. Top Navigation Bar Search: Available throughout the site, the top navigation bar’s search ensures you’re just a click away from discovering relevant content.
   

3. In-Product Search Bars: On specific JoVE product pages (like JoVE Journal or Science Education), in-product search bars allow you to refine your search within that category, making it easier to find exactly what you need within specialized content areas.

Each search result card provides detailed information to help you quickly understand the content and take action. Here’s what you’ll see:

1. Product Name and Module: A tag indicating the JoVE product and module, helping you identify the content source.
