USE DOAJ AS A SEARCH ENGINE

Did you know about the search engine functionality in Chrome and other browsers?

To get DOAJ search results while on any web page, you can set your browser’s search box to interface the DOAJ search engine and land on DOAJ’s search results page.

This trick removes the need to first navigate to DOAJ from a web page, and then do the search or navigation.

Here some instructions on how to configure Chrome’s address bar to search DOAJ:

1. Click the Chrome menu.
2. Select: Preferences on Mac and Linux, or Settings on Windows or Chrome OS.
3. Under Search, select Manage Search Engines.
4. Under Other Search Engines, add DOAJ by entering a name and keyword. I used “DOAJ”
   • You will use the keyword to select DOAJ as the search engine from the address bar.
5. Enter https://doaj.org/search?source={"query": {"query_string": {"query": "%s", "default_operator": "AND"}}}&ref=homepage-box as the URL. Click “Add”
6. DOAJ search can now be accessed by entering keyword search term in the address bar, replacing “search term” with your query.
