Techtip: Search trough all databases with one search engine

17 March 2025

It can take a lot of time to search trough the various databases available for students. With the Leiden Search Assistant, it is possible to search the Leiden catalogue, WorldCat, Google Scholar and PubMed simultaneously from any location on the web.

Installing and ussage

The Leiden Search Assistant is available for both Google Chrome and Firefox. The Search Assistant is available as an extension for these two browsers and can be installed with one click. The Search Assistant does not work on smartphones. 

Simply type in key words in the search bar or select words in a text on the web and right click. The Leiden Search Assistant then immediately searches for the highlighted keywords, even in PDFs.
