Why French keywords return no EU results

  • Verified on
  • Scope Europe

Your French keywords find nothing on the EU side because European documents are in English and Dixit does not translate your search.

The most frequent question on the Europe scope, and its answer in one line.

In detail

Dixit goes looking for the words you wrote, exactly as you wrote them. It does not search for a subject, it searches for words. So write your keywords in the language of the documents: on the European corpus, that is English.

What to do

Write your keywords in English. If the same subject interests you in France and in Brussels, put both languages in the same alert:

PFAS ; "substances perfluorées" ; "per- and polyfluoroalkyl"

A good reflex

If the same subject matters to you on both sides, keep one alert and put both languages in it. You cover Paris and Brussels with a single setting, and you get a single email.
