Live Search
Live Search Academic was a Web search engine for scholarly literature which existed from 2006-2008; it was part of Microsoft's Live Search group of services. It was similar to Google Scholar, but rather than crawling the Internet for academic content, Live Search Academic search results came directly from trusted sources, such as publishers of academic journals.
Live Search Academic was known as Windows Live Academic Search when the beta version was officially launched on April 11, 2006. The name had changed to Live Search Academic by December 6, 2006, when Microsoft announced the addition of millions of new articles, mainly in biomedicine.
On May 23, 2008, Microsoft announced the end of Live Search Books and Live Search Academic, both sites to be closed, with their results integrated into regular Search. The project scanned 750,000 books and indexed 80 million journal articles.
FEATURES
Live Search Academic currently indexes journal articles, conference proceedings, books, theses and dissertations from the following fields:
Information and computer science
Physics
Electrical engineering
Biomedicine
In addition to the normal search capabilities, Live Search Academic also features:
Sorting by relevance, date, author, journal and conference
Slider bar to change level of details of search results
Export citations for different formats, including BibTeX, RefWorks and EndNote
Preview window on the right displaying the title, journal name, abstract summary, authors, volume, publication year, publisher, source and the article's digital object identifier
