Run a search on <strong>EBSCO</strong> <strong>Discovery</strong> <strong>Service</strong>, and view your search results. 2. Click the Search History link below the Find field. Search history is displayed above the Result List. To close Search History, click the Search History link again. 3. Select from the following search history features: • Add lines of search statement history to your current search – Select the lines of your search statement by marking the check boxes to the left of the search statements and then click either Search with AND or Search with OR.

Note: If your institution's administrator has set <strong>EBSCO</strong>host to clear the Find field after performing a search, the lines of search history will not appear in the Find field but the result list will reflect the new search. • Copy your search into an RSS reader – Click the RSS alert icon to display the Syndication Feed URL, and then copy it into your newsreader.
