I get that this is a prototype and thus for getting things going it is currently limited to biorxiv preprints only but... I don't think that limitation is currently stated clearly enough on the public website.

"Hidden Preprints" to me implies search across all preprints. Please make it clearer that this is currently limited to just biorxiv preprints

Hi @rossmounce,

Thanks for feedback, glad to see your interest in the project.

We only state the limitation on About page and it is indeed just a single paragraph.

Do you have any specific suggestion where that kind of notice would work well? I'd start with a statement in the footer of the page in grey-ish font. I'm wondering if that'd be prominent enough.

(Edit: I think rather than footer it probably should be right next to number of results.)

Perhaps a small explanation on the home page is also in order?

We have tickets logged to improve the text on various pages so any suggestions and pointers are welcome.

As a side note: the long term intention is to support multiple sources of preprints - a large amount of work to support this has been already carried out by @dtkaczyk in the API.
