Find Full Text Groups

During the Find Full Text searching and downloading process, results are constantly updated under a Find Full Text group set. Initially, the Find Full Text group set is added below all other group sets. However, you can click and drag the Find Full Text group set to any position. EndNote will maintain that new position across sessions.

The results of a Find Full Text search remain for the current session until you close the library. The categories include:

If you run the Find Full Text operation more than once during a single library session, the additional references are added to the references already found in the Find Full Text groups.

Searching...

This group displays the current set of references for which EndNote is attempting to find either the full text file of each referenced work or at least a URL to the referenced work. When the full text search is completed, this group is deleted. Those references to which full text or a URL was added are displayed in a Found PDF group or a Found URL group.

You can cancel the Find Full Text operation at any time by right-clicking on the Searching group, to display a context-sensitive menu, and selecting Stop finding full text. Full text that has been retrieved until that point is already saved in the library.

Found PDF

This group displays the set of references for which EndNote inserted the PDF file of the referenced work as an attachment. These references display a paper clip icon in the File Attachments column of the reference list. If a URL is also found, it is added to the reference, but the reference is not included in the Found URL group.

If a Find Full Text operation has already attached a file to a selected reference, EndNote will skip that reference when searching for full text. If you do want to look for a full text article for the reference, you must first delete the existing file attachment.

Found URL

This group displays the set of references for which EndNote inserted a URL to the referenced work, but did not find a full text document to attach.

Not Found

This group displays the set of references for which EndNote could not identify a full text file or a URL. These are only from the set of references searched with the Find Full Text command during this session of the EndNote library.
