Question

What is the GALILEO bento search?

Answer

The GALILEO bento search improves the way search results appear. When the bento search is engaged, it sorts search results according to material type.

This makes it easier to find the type of content you are looking for. For example, if you are assigned to find scholarly articles for a project, those articles are now grouped together in a bento box:

Overall, the bento search can provide quicker and more intuitive access to the content you need.
Switching Between Bento Search and Classic (EDS) Search When a user first logs into GALILEO, the bento search is the default. It is very easy to switch between bento search and the classic EDS search with one simple click:
