Global Search

Global search is usually the start page of the University Knoledge Base (UKB). It is used to comprehensively search over all object types at the same time (Everywhere option) or direct the query to a selected object type from the drop-down menu.

This type of querying is useful if with one search we want to obtain a result covering all types of objects in the Knowledge Base for a given question. As an example, below a global result for the query bioengineering is shown:

As one can see, particular tabs show answers for the query in particular object domains, giving a general view of the contents of the Knowledge Base for the specified query.
