This project is developing searching algorithms, markup guidelines and metadata practices for enhancing searching of mathematics, with an emphasis on MathML-based technology. The investigating team is assembling a test collection of representative documents, researching and prototyping three search techniques, and performing quantitative and qualitative testing of their effectiveness. In addition, the project is organizing two events in cooperation with the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications to bring together toolmakers, content providers, librarians, and other NSDL stakeholders. The first workshop seeks to identify current best practices, practical workflow and business constraints, and organize coordination between participants. The second event is a larger, more inclusive conference, aimed at disseminating the results of the project, and formalizing consensus as to best practices. The Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the NSF Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) is providing significant co-funding of this project in recognition of the value that enhanced searching for mathematics has for all the MPS disciplinary domains and for enabling interdisciplinary interactions.

该项目正在开发搜索算法、标记指南和元数据实践，以加强数学搜索，重点是基于MathML的技术。调查小组正在收集一批有代表性的文件，研究三种搜索技术并制作原型，对其有效性进行定量和定性测试。此外，该项目正在与数学及其应用研究所合作组织两项活动，将工具制造商、内容提供商、图书馆员和其他NSDL利益攸关方聚集在一起。第一个研讨会旨在确定当前的最佳做法、实际工作流程和业务限制，并组织参与者之间的协调。第二项活动是一个更大、更具包容性的会议，旨在传播项目成果，并就最佳做法正式达成共识。美国国家科学基金会数学和物理科学理事会（MPS）的多学科活动办公室正在为该项目提供重要的联合资助，以表彰增强数学搜索对所有MPS学科领域和实现跨学科互动的价值。
