How can I switch search engines added on MyLOFT?

Switch between configured search engines

Prerequisite: Your library must have two or more search engines added to MyLOFT to switch between them.

  1. Open the MyLOFT search bar in your library interface.
  2. Locate the search engine icon on the search bar. Next to that icon, click the downward arrow (the dropdown control).
  3. From the dropdown list, choose the search engine you want to use.
  4. The search bar will update to show the selected search engine; you can now run searches using that engine.

Tip: If there is no dropdown arrow, only a single search engine is configured. Contact your library administrator to add additional search engines if needed.
