Using Articles+

Preferred Language Boost

A pop-up menu with language listed, including Arabic, Farsi, Japanese, Hebrew, and several languages in non-Roman scriptsYou may change the language of the search interface in Articles+.  To select from over 30 available interface languages, click the Icon for a hamburger menu, three parallel lines stacked on top of each other icon and then  English in the pop-up menu 

Relevance Language Boost - When one changes the search interface to be in another language, the results in the user interface language are boosted. This feature is useful when a given query term can be a word in multiple languages, and when the results include records in multiple languages.

When in a specific language interface, in instances where the final vowel of a word is dropped when the next word begins with a vowel, when the second word is searched, both forms are found.  For example, in French, searching amour will also find l'amour.
