Abstract:
In this research the degree to which search abilities have been inserted into the search engines of Persian and non-Persian E-Journals has been investigated. 97 Persian E-Journals (PEJ) and 30 non-Persian, in this case English, E-Journals (EEJ) represent the research population. The required data were gathered through designing a checklist, which was filled out for each PEJ and EEJ. The results of the study showed that neither PEJs nor EEJs reached the standards of search abilities set for search engines. In all, EEJs' search engines by 37.9 percent insertion of search abilities in their search engines witness a better condition than PEJs' search engines.
Machine summary:
The results of the study showed that neither PEJs nor EEJs reached the standards of search abilities set for search engines.
The unavailability o1'prompt access to articles published in paper back journals [16], on the one hand, more confidence and cost sensitivity of them [5] and the accessibility of electronic articles role in publicizing [15], on the other, are other factors playing a role in publicizing Els. In Els the ability and quality of user interfaces of which search ability is an important part is considered to be very important; because, it is the only vehicle by which the uscr can interact with Els and get access to his/her needed information.

RESEARCH DESTGN AND METHODOLOGY -PROCED URE Because the emphasis of the study is on collecting, classifying and comparing the information related to the abilities of PEJ and EEJ search engines, survey research (descriptive method) is used to carry out the study.

In general, I 1% of PEJs and 4% of EEJs enjoyed the reviewing ability in their search engines (Table 4).
