The Search History table appears at the bottom of the Advanced Search
and Search History pages. Whenever you perform a search, the results of
your search appear in the table.
What Does the
Search History Table Display?
Combine Sets
Column
Displays the number of the search set (#1, #2, #3, etc.). Search
sets are listed in reverse chronological order with the most recent search
set at the top of the table.
Green Highlighted Sets: You do not have
to edit your saved search histories and alerts created in an earlier version of
the product. They will continue to run as you originally entered them. You can
identify earlier search queries because they are highlighted in green. All new
search queries, however, are governed by our new Topic and Title search rules
and they are not highlighted.
For more information about our search rules, see Phrase
Searching.
Gold Highlighted Sets: These are new sets created
in the current version of the product. They reference sets created from an earlier version of the product in which the product found more than 100,000 records. The
record count of the new set, however, may not be accurate. We suggest that you do not combine sets created in an earlier version
if the set contains more than 100,000 records. Instead, recreate new set combinations
to get an accurate count.
Results Column
Displays the total number of results retrieved, along with a link that takes
you to the Results page.
Search History Details Column
Displays the following information for each search query:
- Field tags
- Search terms
- Document types
- Languages
- Database
- Timespan
|
Available Options
From the Search History table, you can:
- Combine search sets.
- Save
your queries to a search history file;
- Open
a previously saved search history file; and
- Delete
search sets.
Saving Search Queries
You can save up to 20 search queries from the Search
History table. If the table contains more than 20 queries, then a message
will appear above the 20th row indicating that the sets below this point
can be saved, but those at row 21 and above cannot be saved.
