The VHL Integrated Search Engine (iAHx) streamlines information retrieval through a unified interface, enhancing user experience by minimizing the steps required to access diverse information sources. Unlike traditional search engines that demand navigating multiple formats and interfaces, iAHx enables users to explore clusters of organized documents, refine search results, and export outcomes in various formats, including XML and RSS. This innovative system addresses challenges like maintenance costs and offers personalized services, ultimately reducing the learning curve for users.

VHL Integrated Search New search engine
Current State • Meta-engine performs search on distributed information sources • User must select an information source = several steps to access information • Each information source has its own presentation format and search interface • Slow learning curve • High cost of maintenance (products) • Lack of personalized services
New Integrated Search (iAHx) • Single interface to search for and present the metadata of the information sources • Organization of clusters that allows the exploration and refining the set of documents retrieved • Common services: selection of documents, sent by mail, search history, etc. • Organization of the results by relevance, date and others (eg: SJR Scimago Journal Rank) • Exports results in XML and RSS formats
