# Full text search

With ReadCube you have access to full-text search, powered by [Dimensions](https://www.dimensions.ai/). This means that instead of searching the metadata of articles (title, author, journal), ReadCube will search the entire text of the paper to see if it’s a match for your query. 

To take advantage of full text search, head into Search in the ReadCube app

Type in your query - [perhaps with the help of our AI powered query builder](https://support.papersapp.com/en/support/solutions/articles/30000050982-ai-assisted-query-builder-papers-pro-) - and ReadCube will begin searching for metadata and full text to fulfill your query.

You can then import one or several of those search results directly into your ReadCube library with just a few clicks
