DESCRIPTION:

The Results Browser allows you to browse through the titles of the
documents that your search has retrieved, to display the text of the
documents, to print or write documents (or parts of them) to a file, and

The Results Browser displays the rank, score, and title of each document.
The document ranks are assigned to the documents in the serial order they
appear in the list.  The number immediately to the left of each document
is its score.  If you have performed a topic search, the documents with
the highest score (that is, those that are most relevant to your search)
are at the top of the list.  The Results Browser also displays the
descriptive information associated with the highlighted document (the
document headers).

Scrolling though the Document Titles:

The window of document titles is scrollable.  The UP and DOWN ARROWS move
the highlight one line.  The PgUp and PgDn keys scroll to the previous or

As you move the highlight though the list of document titles, the document
headers change.  The database administrator determines what these headers
contain.

With the Results Browser displayed, press slash (/).  This displays the
Slash menu.  This allows you to print several documents (or to write them
to a file), to write part of a document to a file, to export a list of
documents to a DBMS for further processing, or to save a list of documents
as a data file for further processing.

DESCRIPTION:

The Set Filters dialog box allows you to specify information under
categories.  The categories are determined by the database administrator,
but they often are based on the information in the document headers.  The
categories may have operators (INCLUDES, EXCLUDES; number fields have the
operators EQUALS, NOT EQUALS, LESS THAN, MORE THAN).

Selecting an Operator

You may change INCLUDES to EXCLUDES by highlighting the field and pressing
"E;" change to INCLUDES by pressing "I."  You may also display a menu of
operators by highlighting the field and pressing RETURN to display a menu.
Highlight the appropriate choice and press RETURN again.

Moving from Field to Field:

The arrow keys move the cursor from field to field.  Note that when there
are characters typed into an edit box, the LEFT and RIGHT ARROWS also move
the cursor within the field.

Entering Values into Selection Fields:

There are two ways to enter values into fields.  The first is to type the
value directly into the field.  The second is to select a value from a
menu.

To type into the Selection field, use the arrow keys to position the
cursor at the beginning of the edit box, then begin typing.  If you make a
mistake, press BACKSPACE to erase the character to the left of the cursor.
You may also use LEFT and RIGHT ARROW to move the cursor to any point in
the edit box.  Use DELETE to erase the character at the cursor.

To select a value from a select menu, use the arrow keys to position the
cursor anywhere in the field, and press RETURN.  If there is no selection
menu available, you will hear a beep.  If there is a selection menu
available, it will pop up.  Use the UP and DOWN ARROW, PgUp, PgDn, HOME,
and END keys to move the highlight in this menu.  When you have
highlighted the desired list item, press RETURN.

Executing a Filter:

To execute the filter, highlight EXECUTE in the command box and press
RETURN.  The Results Browser appears with a list of all documents that
pass the filter.  Until you clear the filter, all retrievals search
through the list of these documents only.

Clearing a Filter:

To clear a filter, highlight the CLEAR command on the Filters menu and
press RETURN.  Clearing a filter both clears the screen and resets the
filter to allow searches over the entire document set.

THREE KINDS OF SEARCHES

Topic (TM) allows you to perform word, Boolean, or topic searches.

     1.  In a word search, you retrieve documents that contain a specific
          word.

     2.  In a Boolean search you retrieve documents that contain words and
          phrases linked by Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT, PHRASE,
          SENTENCE, or PARAGRAPH).

     3.  In a topic search, you retrieve documents that are relevant to
          "topics," which are clusters of words and phrases representing
          concepts.  The words and topics are related to one another
          hierarchically in family trees of topics, subtopics, etc.

A "topic tree" represents the entire family of ideas and concepts that are
embraced by the topic.  For more information, see your "Topic User's
Guide," Chapter 1, under "Topic Searching" and "Doing a Topic Search."
See also Chapter 5, "Creating and Editing Topics."

DETERMINING THE RELEVANCE OF A DOCUMENT TO YOUR TOPIC:

Topics are more than just combinations of words.  They contain knowledge
about the relative importance of the subtopics, and how the subtopics
should be combined to make up the topic.  When you ask for all of the
documents relevant to a topic, the system computes the degree to which
each document is relevant to your query and sorts the retrieved documents
in the order of their relevance.  This allows you to examine the most
relevant documents first.

MANIPULATING RETRIEVED DOCUMENTS:

In addition to retrieving documents, Topic allows you copy a document to
your local data area and edit it with your favorite text editor.  You can
copy an entire document or select regions of a document to be copied.

You can supplement a document by linking it to notes, to images, or to
other documents (see your "Topic User's Guide," Chapter 4, "Using
HyperLink").

MENU BAR -- SEARCH:

Highlight the Search menu and select the kind of search you want to
perform by highlighting Topic, Word, or Boolean Plus and pressing RETURN.

Select the topic from the topic list, select the word from the word list,
or enter the Boolean search expression.

Document Retrieval:

The RESULTS BROWSER appears with a list of documents.  If you have done a
topic search, the most relevant documents are at the top of the list.  For
details, see the "Topic User's Guide," Chapter 2, "Topic Basics."

MENU BAR -- TOPICS:

Select Browse (in the Topics menu).  This displays the Topic Browser,
which contains the topic list.  You can also display the Word Browser,
which contains the word list, or the Outline Browser, which contains the
topic trees arranged in the form of an outline.  For further information,
see the "Topic User's Guide," Chapter 2, "Topic Basics."

MENU BAR -- EXIT:

its various endings; for example, "date," "dating," "dated," etc.).  A
double quote indicates that you are about to perform a "word search"
(which looks for precisely that string of characters, with no variations).

If you make a mistake, press BACKSPACE to erase one character.  The case
(upper or lower) of the letters is ignored.

The Word List:

The Word List window contains an ordered list of numbers, followed by an
alphabetized list of all words in the database.  As you type, the
highlighted word in the Word List window changes to match the characters
you have typed.  You can type the entire word or you can type a few
characters of the word you want in order to get close to it in the word
list, and then use the arrow keys to move the highlight to the word you
want.  The UP and DOWN ARROWS move the highlight one word.  PgUp and PgDn
display the previous or next screen of words.  HOME moves to the beginning
of the word list, and END moves to the end of the word list.

As you type a word, the word list scrolls so that the first word that
matches the characters that you have typed is highlighted.  When you press
RETURN, the system retrieves the documents that contain the highlighted
word.

If you type a word that is not in the word list, you will hear a beep.

The Retrieved Documents:

When you press RETURN, the Results Browser appears.  It will show the
titles of all of the documents that contain the highlighted word.

The relevance score of each retrieved document is 1.00.

------------------  ------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION:

The Boolean Search dialog box allows you to type a group of words joined
by AND, OR, or NOT (the Boolean operators) or PHRASE, SENTENCE, or
PARAGRAPH (the proximity operators).  It then searches for all of the
documents that contain the specified combination of words.

Syntax of a Boolean Search:

Enclose words in double quotes to search for precisely that word or string
of characters; enclose stems in single quotes to search for varied forms
of the word, such as past tense of plurals.

Expressions read from right to left.  For example:

    a and b or c

retrieves documents containing a and b, or documents that contain c.

Parentheses indicate the order in which the directions are to be carried
out; if there are nested parentheses, start with the innermost level.  For
example:

    a and (b or c)

retrieves documents that contain a, and that contain either b or c.

    (a and (b or c)) or d

retrieves documents that contain b or c as well as a, and that contain d.

The Boolean Operators:

    AND: This retrieves documents containing all items connected with AND.

    OR:  This retrieves documents containing either of the items connected
          by OR.

    NOT: This is used in conjunction with AND and OR.  it indicates items
          that must be missing from the document.  For example,

               a and not b

          retrieves documents that contain a but do not contain b.

The Proximity Operators:

The proximity operators are nearness operators and specify the relative
proximity of words that are in the same phrase, paragraph, or sentence.

     PHRASE:    The items occur alongside one another and in the same
          order as in the Boolean query.

     PARAGRAPH: The items are in the same paragraph.

     SENTENCE:  The items are in the same sentence.

Entering a Boolean Search:

As you type characters, they appear in the window labeled "Search for."
When you reach the end of a line, the cursor automatically "wraps" to the
next line.  If you make a mistake, press BACKSPACE to erase the character
to the left of the cursor.  You may also use the arrow keys to move the
cursor to any point in the typed lines.  Press RETURN to advance to a new
line in the "Search for" edit box.  Press TAB to move to the command box.

The Retrieved Documents:

listed items are enclosed in single quotes.  If you do a retrieval you are
performing a stem search.  Topic looks for not only that word, but for all
the variations of the word (past tense, plural, etc.).  For example, a
word search on "damage" finds only documents with the word "damage"; a
stem search on 'damage' finds documents with the words "damage,"
"damaged," "damaging," and "damages."

DESCRIPTION:

The Topic Viewer displays the topics in a graphical, tree-structured form.
The weights and topic operators are not displayed.  The purpose of the
Topic Viewer is to provide a comprehensive view of the connectivity among
topics.

Walking the Topic Tree:

The arrow keys move the highlight over the topic tree.

When you use the keystroke chart above to adjust the diagram, the diagram
moves only one pixel at a time, which may be too little to have an effect
(this is not true of F and M, which decrease or increase the length of the
labels by one character at a time).  To move the diagram a given number of
pixels, type the number before the command (for example, 50U, to move the
diagram up on the screen 50 pixels).
