Users opening publications through Publication Finder and valid links from external systems (ex. Primo) will now be directed to the correct Publication Detail page, even when Publication Authority is set to Hide. The Show/Hide setting continues to control visibility within the Browse by navigation menu and the Publications tab on the Advanced Search page. To control this setting, please visit EBSCO Experience Manager and click on EBSCO Configuration > Researcher > Search > Publication authority option
The bulk 500 download modal includes metadata field selection, giving users full control over which fields are included or excluded in each download. Researchers can tailor downloads to include only the fields they need, streamlining workflows and reducing unnecessary data transfer.
A new "Book summaries" segment is available in the segmented results on the Business Searching Interface. If you subscribe to the Business Book Summaries database and have it enabled and selected on your Business Searching Interface profile, the "Book summaries" segment will appear, allowing you to quickly limit results to the Business Book Summaries database.
The maximum number of searches allowed in a single Search Set is increasing from 200 to 1,000, giving researchers and information professionals more flexibility to build and re-run large, comprehensive search sets. This update is designed for advanced users managing extensive literature reviews, systematic searches, or complex research workflows.
The Full Text Finder Link Resolver has been updated to bring the look of the top navigation of the page in line with the recent updates to EBSCOhost, EBSCO Discovery Service and Publication Finder, including: reduced color banner at the top of the page; Logo, Product Name and additional links aligned left; Product Name font size reduced; Language menu updated to globe icon.
Library administrators can control the database display order from one location in EBSCOadmin. For multi-database EBSCOhost profiles, the Order setting on the Databases tab controls the sequence of databases shown in the database selection modal and the advanced search page's list of database-specific limiters. This means the display order for the database selection menu will be identical to the display order of database-specific limiters on the advanced search page. The Order setting can be found in EBSCOadmin under Choose Profile > Databases tab > Order column, for multi-database profiles only.
eBooks have been removed from the result list preview that appears on the topic pages in Explora when those eBooks already appear in an eBook carousel on the topic page. This resolves redundancy and allows us to showcase other results in the preview that aren’t already visible on the topic page via the carousel.
-
Institution name, which previously appeared in the color banner, is removed and will no longer be available as an option to display in the UI (Recommendation: use the newly disambiguated product name, referenced above, for institutional branding text)

Access to the language selection menu is moved out of the color banner and is collapsed to just the globe icon
Natural language search was renamed to AI‑assisted search to more clearly communicate how the feature works and the value it provides. As part of this update, the help modal content will also be revised to better describe functionality and usage. This change is intended to improve clarity, usability, and adoption, while the underlying capabilities remain the same.
Ask This Document lets you ask questions and receive answers drawn directly from the document itself. The feature analyzes each question, understands its context, and responds using only the information contained within the document—nothing more, nothing less. Ask This Document intelligently identifies relevant sections, surfaces precise answers, and will even point you to specific areas of the document were the information is found.
