Searching for Rubrics (Semantic Search)

Finding the right rubric in Similia is fast thanks to Semantic Search: you can type symptoms in natural language, the way patients speak, and Similia will surface the most relevant rubrics.

How to search for a symptom or rubric

1. Open Repertory.
2. Type your symptom, for example "fear of the dark" or "headache better lying down".
3. Choose the search type:

• Semantic Search, for meaning and context
• Keyword Search, for exact words

4. Review results and open a rubric to see remedies and grades.
5. Use sorting and filters to refine results, for example by number of remedies.

Finding rubrics that contain particular remedies

To find the rubrics that contain a remedy, use the Remedy filter next to the search input. Open it, search for the remedy, and select it; the results are then limited to rubrics containing that remedy. The pill shows a badge with how many remedies you have selected.

When you select two or more remedies, a Remedy match choice appears:

• All remedies: shows only rubrics that contain every selected remedy. This is the default.
• Any remedy: shows rubrics that contain at least one of the selected remedies.

With a single remedy selected the choice is hidden, because there is nothing to combine.

Sorting and narrowing results

Sort and the section filter sit as pills next to the search input:

• Sort: choose Relevance or Remedies.
• All Sections: choose which sections of the repertory to search. Once you pick some, the pill shows how many sections are selected.

On the standalone Repertory page on a desktop screen, the Sources panel on the left is where you choose premium and classic repertories. You can collapse it with the chevron on its edge (Hide sources panel) and bring it back with Show sources panel. On smaller screens there is no side panel; choose sources from the repertory selector instead.

The repertory browse view now uses a single layout. The earlier Cards, Tiles and List view options and the A–Z letter scrubber are no longer available, and Sort now lives beside the search input rather than in a sidebar tab.

Translated Complete Repertory sources

Semantic Search can use translated Complete Repertory sources when the account has access to those sources.

Supported translated Complete sources include:

• Complete German Repertory (Complete_DE)
• Complete Turkish Repertory (Complete_TR)
• Complete Spanish Repertory (Complete_ES)
• Complete Portuguese Repertory (Complete_PT)
• Complete Russian Repertory (Complete_RU)

Translated Complete sources are available only when the account has the relevant Complete access and translation add-on. If the account does not have access, the translated source is not selectable.

Quick repertorization

You can start a repertorization directly from the Repertory section using Quick repertorization.

What it does

When you click Quick repertorization:

• Similia creates a new case named "Quick case N"
• creates an empty analysis inside it
• places it in, or creates, a "Quick cases" folder
• automatically opens the new analysis so you can start adding rubrics

Notes

• If you are on the Free plan and you have reached the limits for cases or analyses, Similia prompts you to upgrade before creating a quick case.
• You can later rename the case, move it to another folder, or keep it in "Quick cases".
