When to search by specific fields
Imagine you are looking for a researcher or research group that has one or more patents on your topic of interest. To avoid seeing researchers with only publications on that topic, you can open the Search by specific fields dialog and only search by Patents. Groups or researchers with no patents on your topic will be filtered from the results.
Another example is when you are searching for the name of a research group or researcher. You will get cleaner results if you open the Search by specific fields dialog and only search by the name of the research group or researcher.
How to search by specific fields
You can first try a search without opening the Search by dialog. Most of the time this will already give you perfect results to browse through. When you see too many irrelevant results, use the Search by specific fields to refine the search results.
If you are looking for a very specific result, you can open the Search by specific fields dialog before you start your search. Select the fields of interest, close the dialog, and enter your search topic.
Click the Search by button in the search bar to open the Search by specific fields dialog.

You can now select the fields of interest to search by.
We show a tooltip on the options where fields are grouped.
