  1. Show/hide option for resource recommender in NDE

    In NDE the user is able to close the resource recommendations section.

    While this is helpful for users who want to get it out of the way, if they change their mind and want to see the recommendations for subsequent searches in the same session, there is no way to re-open it.

    They have to wait for a new session, or start in a new browser. Even signing out and back in again does not re-enable the recommendations.

    This suggestion is that instead of X for close - there should be hide/show function.

    We rely on the resource recommender for…

    Hi All,

    Thanks for the feedback!

    We will add the option to hide/collapse the entire section instead of closing it.

    Also - we will check the option to allow dismissing specific resources and not the entire section.

    This will be done during 2026 - H1.

    Best regards,

    Yael.

  2. Research Assistant: make filter button more noticeable

    It appears to us that several of our users of the Research Assistant don't notice the filter option left to the search box. Our request is to make the filter button more noticeable, e.g. by making it blue like the arrow to the left of the search box and by and by providing a mouse-over text.

  3. Support the use of wildcards within phrase searches

    At present, the use of wildcards within a phrase search is not supported in CDI. This functionality is supported when searching local records only but does not work when searching CDI or using a blended scope. Since the goal of discovery is to provide a single point of access to local and remote collections, it follows that both indexes should support the same search functionality and operators.

  4. Remove CDI constant expansion of results

    PCI results respect that a user knows what they want, but help with expansion when necessary, such as by stemming when there are very few results returned by the exact query. A user has autonomy also to target their results with techniques such as quotation marks, Boolean operators, and Advanced Search.

    In CDI, expansion is constant, by term inflection applied to all searches, as well as higher recall in general by design. This cannot be prevented by features such as Boolean operators, quotation marks or Advanced Search, and is illogical in conjunction with other features like 'Did you mean'.

  5. Add fields for Name and email address to the Action>Email option

    Our students have started using the Action>Email option which is available when displaying a record in Primo to ask questions about that title/item.

    Unfortunately they don't realise that their Name/email address isn't being included and so we are receiving messages to our library email from Primo asking us to help without details of the patron!

    If you could add fields for Name and email address to the Action>Email form that would resolve the issue.
