What an evidence topic is

An evidence topic is a subject word or phrase SmellBook records for its sources. It gathers the sources tagged with it and the VERIFIED claims that rest on them. It is not any other record that shares its name, such as a smell entry, an origin or a molecule.

HOW SEARCH WORKS

Search matches the words you type against public SmellBook content only. Exact names and other recorded names come first, then descriptors, contexts and page text. A small set of word forms count for their base word, such as “roses” for rose or “citrusy” for citrus, and close misspellings get spelling suggestions. Results are the same for everyone: they are not personalized, payments or commissions do not affect their order, and nothing private is searched.
