I have a question. What are the alternative terms for defining a research overview conducted through systematic searches in databases? I am aware of "systematic review" and "scoping review." Currently, I am working on a research overview to gain an understanding of the research area and identify research gaps. Initially, I have considered defining this as a "scoping review." However, due to the limited scope of the research area, it has been challenging for me to be fully systematic, as I have also wanted to pursue leads I have encountered along the way, which has led me to adopt less systematic approaches as well.

It sounds like you're conducting a research overview that involves systematic searches in databases but may incorporate some less systematic approaches due to the nature of your research area. Given your approach, you might consider using terms like:
In reference to the following paragraph from my contribution to another related discussion, I think you need to be more specific.
"according to information seeking theories your given here is completely natural. Once we had reference interview in physical libraries and information centers, we could easily understand what the user was asking for'
