5:
When searching inside of EndNote X2 or later, my library is importing all the search results automatically, unlike previous versions. Is it possible to modify this behavior?

Answer:
First, verify you are running X2.0.1 or later.
Widows: go to the "Help" menu and choose "About EndNote."
Mac OS X: go to the "EndNote X2" menu and choose "About EndNote."
If it still reads X2.0.0, get the
EndNote X2 update. EndNote X2.0.1 and later introduce the library window display modes.
You can choose from different display modes in the Library
window.
You may want to always work in Integrated Library &
Online Search Mode, where all groups and commands are
available. When you download references from an online
database, they are saved directly into your open library.
The other option is to work primarily in Local Library Mode and
switch to Online Search Mode when you want to search and
download references from an online database. In Local Library
Mode, the Online Search groups are not available; once you
select the Online Search command from the Tools menu, you are
automatically switched to Online Search Mode. In Online Search
Mode, only the Online Search groups are available, and
references are downloaded into a temporary library. This allows
you to download references from online databases without
affecting your local library. Many library commands are not
available in Online Search Mode.
To save references while in Online Search Mode to your Library, highlight them and then:
-
Go to the References menu and select Copy References to in order to select a new or existing library and copy the highlighted references to that selected library
-
Or, click the Copy to Local Library icon on the toolbar to quickly copy the highlighted references to the currently active library
To switch between these modes, click on the appropriate toolbar
button.
For more details, click the EndNote Help option, select "What's New in EndNote X2" and choose "The Library Window Display Modes" or click on the Help option, select "Search of Help On" and browse to the "Modes" topic with EndNote X3 and later.
Note: If you cannot upgrade to X2.0.1 or later at this time, EndNote X2.0.0 imports all search results directly into your library.
Note that the references you do not want can be dragged into the "Trash" group to remove them from your library, or you can simply select them and choose "delete" on your keyboard to move them to the "Trash" group.
This change was made to protect users from accidentally citing from search windows rather than from their reference library.
If you would prefer not to directly import all search results, you could create a new library to use as temporary storage for the references.
Perform searches within this temporary library, and then simply cut and paste or drag and drop your desired references into your master library.
