Generally, a single search scope includes either local search scope values or a quickset, but it is also possible to combine both local and remote scopes in a single scope. The remote search scope values are added to the PNX records during the normalization process.

   The Edit Search Scope page opens (see Edit Search Scope Page).

3. In the Search Scope Values area, add or remove the search scope values from the local repository. If no search scopes or quicksets are selected, the scope includes the entire local repository. If a quickset is selected, the scope does not include any search scopes in the local repository.

   The values displayed in the Search Scope Values list are defined in the instructions for the Managing Scope Values.

4. In the Remote Quick Sets area, choose a remote MetaLib QuickSet for your search scope by checking the desired quickset. If this section is left blank, there are no remote quicksets for the search scope.

   If no scope values or remote quicksets are selected, there are no local or remote search scopes defined and the entire local index is searched.

5. In the Deep Search Plugins area, select additional search plug-ins that you want to include with this view and search scope: WorldCat, EBSCO (see Configuring the EBSCO Plug-In), Primo to Primo, and CDI.

   If your institution is registered for the CDI service and the CDI plugin is selected, you can also specify the following options:

   • Include Results with no full-text – By default, Primo displays only the CDI records that contain full text, but users may select the Expand My Results option in the Front End to display other CDI records as well. If you want to display all CDI records by default, select this check box.

     When selected, the Expand My Results option will not display in the Front End, but users may click the Full Text Online facet to display only the records that contain full text.

   • Limit search to CDI Selective Collections - eBooks – Instead of including all collections from CDI, you have the ability to add specific CDI ebook collections (such as EBSCOhost Ebooks) to your search scopes. When this option is selected, the system will display your active CDI e-book collections so that you can add them to your local search scopes easily.
