Read the scope literally
Only the first 2000 characters are used for this search. A match later in a long draft can therefore fall outside the checked excerpt.
The service retrieves at most three public web sources. It does not produce an originality percentage or claim to cover all published material.
- Identify the checked excerpt.
- Note the three-source limit.
- Avoid a whole-document verdict.
Understand missing results
A source may be private, unindexed, behind access controls or absent from the small retrieved set. Common wording can also appear on many unrelated pages.
No retrieved match is not evidence that no match exists anywhere. Keep your own source notes and apply the rules of the publication or institution receiving the work.
- Review source notes.
- Consider unavailable material.
- Keep the limitation in your conclusion.
Use matches constructively
Inspect the actual page before deciding what a match means. A shared factual term is different from a copied sentence or an uncredited argument.
Use confirmed findings to improve quotation, attribution and bibliography entries. The tool supports review rather than deciding plagiarism by itself.
- Open the source.
- Compare the exact wording.
- Correct attribution where needed.
Worked example

No match was found in this limited search. The remainder of the document and other sources still need appropriate review.

Before you finish
- First 2000 characters identified.
