Minimum Character Requirement for Truncation of Search Terms
December 2025
We made a change to how Search handles the asterisk (*) wildcard queries to better align with industry standards, improve overall performance, and avoid broad, unmanageable search results. Search terms that use an asterisk (*) wildcard after fewer than three characters will now be adjusted to remove the wildcard. For example:
 
• p* will become p
• ph* will become ph
• phy* will continue to perform a wildcard search as usual
 
This change only applies to asterisk (*) wildcards and does not impact hashtag (#) or question mark (?) wildcards.

Publication Contents Feature Hidden from Topic Overview and Research Starter Records
December 2025

We have removed the Publication Contents feature from Topic Overview and Research Starter records. This feature works by showing other records in the same issue of a publication, and Topic Overviews/Research Starters are all indexed under a single "issue," so this feature was not useful for these types of records.
