Beginning after the EBSCOadmin\u2122 release on Saturday, August 17, 2019, Enhanced Subject Precision will automatically be enabled by default. This feature utilizes mapped vocabulary terms from multiple sources to add precision for topical searches. Currently used by our flagship EBSCO Discovery Service\u2122 platform, it matches a user\u2019s search term to known concepts and records about the concept to receive an additional relevance boost. Popular search queries are also mapped to increase opportunities for concept matching. We are confident this will add value to your EBSCOhost experience, and we will continue to make updates over the coming year to ensure we provide you and your users with an industry-leading search experience.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>More information can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.ebsco.com%2Fs%2Farticle%2FUpcoming-change-to-your-EBSCOhost-search-results%3Flanguage%3Den_US%26mkt_tok%3DeyJpIjoiWlRWbFlUZ3haRFJpT1RCaCIsInQiOiJIRHlOK1FCZHJTa20rT3JtQmMxXC9Sb1VCaFk5XC9zelFrRFFITTZJS0R2ZlwvUlhzMTI0dTJMN0E1cVwvQUw4QlwvUjk4bmttOGJhMldzdE9OQ3E5MjN4MlEzNG91VlNWWXI3cGxYOXQ5NDNTNHVmOEQ2XC9KYm9QOFFqYWhcL0c5UWp3SmkifQ%253D%253D&amp;sa=D&amp;sntz=1&amp;usg=AFQjCNEzAWaT89GG0IOVRwgh3S5GuKtWBQ\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We received the following update from EBSCO regarding upcoming changes to EBSCOhost search results: &#8220;As part of our ongoing product improvements, we are introducing a change that will result in an improved list of records returned for search terms entered by users on the EBSCOhost\u00aeresearch platform.
