In case anyone else agrees with me that this would be a nice feature, I've entered an enhancement request to EBSCO about ebooks.  I would like to have a Limit option to limit to Encyclopedias, dictionaries, and directories.

"we have assigned the following Case Number to your request: - 3629644- Ebooks - Enhancement request - would like to be able to limit to "Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, Directories"
Please tell EBSCO you like this idea (if you do).

I would like for the patron to be able to search for a concept in the full text, then limit that result to Encyclopedias.  I find that if I use a quote-bound phrase in the search terms along with the subject:encyclopedia, when I look at the "most relevant pages", it doesn't restrict the matches in the most relevant pages to the quote-bond phrase.

This would help the EDS discovery product surface short-entry reference works as well as longer works.


Thanks,
