The previous version of endnote I’ve used (Endnote 8.0) permitted the use of an online search where you selected Tools->Connect->Web of Science. Then a diaogue box opens up that you can choose search parameters such as author/year/journal to look for references in the database. I recently purchased Endnote X2.0.1 and installed the program on my mac. The program, when a reference library is open, looks like their should be a button to permit online search between “Sort” and “Quick Seach” but clicking on the globe does nothing. Likewise, Tools->Online Seach does absolutely nothing. Is there a setting that enables the online database search functions such as those used in Endnote 8.0, and how would this be enabled?
Thank you for your assistance. Actually in this case, the window to select sources (Ex: Web of Science, Pubmed) did not come up when (Tools->Online Search…) was selected. I ended up deleting the program and reinstalling. Now it appears functional and includes contents in the groups tab that was empty before. So I am currently assuming the program merely had some installation error.
