(Note: in EndNote X9 and earlier, there are three icons: Local Library Mode, Online Search Mode (Temporary Library), and Integrated Library & Online Search Mode on the upper left corner. Open EndNote 20, on the left pane, there is a category called ONLINE SEARCH.First, you need to have an internet connection.However, I would not recommend using this search function if you are performing a topic search, which should be conducted in a relevant database.

This is particularly easy when the database is publicly accessible, for example: PubMed, so that you do not need to authenticate your access. If you are looking for a particular reference, you may search for it in a remote database directly from EndNote.
