Advanced Google Scholar (resolved)

[Stewart C. Baker]

In fact, a colleague found the following working link: http://scholar.google.com/advanced_scholar_search?hl=en&sciui=2&as_sdt=0,5

It looks like the &sciui=2 is what needs to be there for advanced search (at least at the moment).  Adding it in to any library Scholar links should fix things.

When I go to scholar.google.com, there's a link on the lower left labeled "Revert to old venerable look." When I click on that, I see the Advanced Scholar Search link in the usual place by the search box. That link takes me to:

http://scholar.google.com/advanced_scholar_search?hl=en&as_sdt=0,44

No telling whether we can count on that behavior to be stable. Good luck and I'd be interested to hear the final outcome.

Google has apparently decided to remove the separate "Advanced Scholar Search" page, meaning that any links to it (e.g. most library web pages that I'm aware of) now lead to the basic search option instead.

Anybody know any workarounds for this?  I searched (via Google, funnily enough), but couldn't come up with anything, and have contacted the Google Help team, but don't know how long they take to respond to queries--probably quite a while.
