Knovel differentiates with optimized search tools. Besides the structured access and keyword search allows the Data Search a search in numerical ranges, in various categories and fields. The unit converter respects different units (for instance for temperature C, F, K). Search queries can be combined in the Data Search. As an example you can combine ‘Material or Substance name’ = Nylon with a ‘Flexural Modulus’ of ‘1.000 to 1.200 ksi. Several operators are available for the Data Search: equal, exists, greater than, less than and is between.
Search results are filtered up to the relevant chapters in the titles. Icons show immediately the kind of hit, which can be PDF, text, table, graph or equations. Interactive Objects like tables can be manipulated in a table-like environment and exported in different formats. All exports contain source information and support to incorporate the data in your work.
