Full text search

Ask IGOR^AI is able to automatically index the full text of open-access scientific articles, patents (written in English), and information from webpages that have been added to the Universe through the browser extension. Ask IGOR^AI can also index information from PDF, .docx, or .pptx files that are manually uploaded to a document. Accessing information from full text allows Ask IGOR^AI to extract more detailed information than from the abstract (and/or claims) alone.

The following information is true of Scientific Articles, Patents, and Webpages:

How do I know if the full text was indexed?

In our Linked Documents view we show an Open Access icon next to the title of a document when it has an Open Access copyright license, which means the full text is available either on the external page itself or through a download button. N.B.: The exact details regarding the usage of these files differs per publisher.
