Searching for references in your EndNote Library

If you have many references in your EndNote library, it can be useful to search it to identify particular references.

  • Select the group you want to search, e.g. All References.
  • You can use the quick search box at the top of the screen to search all fields, including the full text of any PDFs attached.
  • For a detailed search click Show search panel, if it is not already showing. Fill in your search criteria. To add more search lines, click on the ‘+’ button at the right of one of the search boxes.
  • Click Search.

The retrieved results are displayed and included in a Search results group, listed in the left pane. This group is temporary and contents will be replaced with your next search.
