Description:

Quicksearch is a unified search and discovery solution that combines titles from Orbis, Morris, Articles+, digital collections (i.e. FindIt), HathiTrust and other content in a single bento style result-set. This service is provided and managed by Yale University Library.

Quicksearch has downstream dependencies on the following systems through dynamic API calls and database queries:

Quicksearch is a fork of CLIO Spectrum, Columbia University Libraries' unified search and discovery solution, which is a customized instance of Blacklight and Solr. Blacklight is an open source discovery interface for any Solr index. Solr is an open source enterprise search platform. Vendor support is not available for these two applications as they are community developed and self supported.
