- Abstract
- Examines searching capabilities and search results relating to the same full text data base made available by: a host that offers a command language designed for searching bibliographic data bases and a host that provides search facilities that have been specially designed for full text retrieval. Moreover, the CD-ROM format of an encyclopedia is compared with the equivalent on-line version of the same work, Academic American Encyclopedia. Results reveal that it is easier to search on those systems that offer searching facilities which have been specially designed for full text retrieval.

- Abstract
- State of the art review of the development of full text databases, encompassing: types of commercially available full text databases; online systems for full text databases; CD-ROM databases for full text databases; full text databases on magnetic discs or tapes; creation of full text databases; searching and display requirements for full text searching and software. Concludes that bibliographic information services without full text support solve only half of the retrieval problems

- Abstract
- The results of modelling the performance of searching large text databases (>10 GBytes) via various parallel hardware architectures and search algorithms are discussed. The performance under load and the cost of each configuration are compared. Strengths, weaknesses, performance sensitivities, and search features supported for each configuration are also addressed. In addition, a common search workload used in the modelling is described. The search workload is derived from a set of searches run against the Chemical Abstracts file of bibliographic and abstract text available on STN International. This common workload is applied to all configurations modelled to provide a common basis of comparison

- Abstract
- Gross et al. (2015) have demonstrated that about a quarter of hits would typically be lost to keyword searchers if contemporary academic library catalogs dropped their controlled subject headings. This paper reports on an analysis of the loss levels that would result if a bibliographic database, namely the Australian Education Index (AEI), were missing the subject descriptors and identifiers assigned by its professional indexers, employing the methodology developed by Gross and Taylor (2005), and later by Gross et al. (2015). The results indicate that AEI users would lose a similar proportion of hits per query to that experienced by library catalog users: on average, 27% of the resources found by a sample of keyword queries on the AEI database would not have been found without the subject indexing, based on the Australian Thesaurus of Education Descriptors (ATED). The paper also discusses the methodological limitations of these studies, pointing out that real-life users might still find some of the resources missed by a particular query through follow-up searches, while additional resources might also be found through iterative searching on the subject vocabulary. The paper goes on to describe a new research design, based on a before - and - after experiment, which addresses some of these limitations. It is argued that this alternative design will provide a more realistic picture of the value that professionally assigned subject indexing and controlled subject vocabularies can add to literature searching of a more scholarly and thorough kind.

- The traditional measures of online searching proficiency (recall and precision) are less appropriate when applied to the searching of full text databases. The pilot study investigated and evaluated 5 measures of overall success in searching a full text data bank. Data was drawn from INQUIRER searches conducted by medical students at North Carolina Univ. at Chapel Hill. INQUIRER ia an online database of facts and concepts in microbiology. The 5 measures were: success/failure; precision; search term overlap; number of search cycles; and time per search. Concludes that the last 4 measures look promising for the evaluation of fact data bases such as ENQUIRER

- Abstract
- Gross et al. (2015) have demonstrated that about a quarter of hits would typically be lost to keyword searchers if contemporary academic library catalogs dropped their controlled subject headings. This article reports on an investigation of the search value that subject descriptors and identifiers assigned by professional indexers add to a bibliographic database, namely the Australian Education Index (AEI). First, a similar methodology to that developed by Gross et al. (2015) was applied, with keyword searches representing a range of educational topics run on the AEI database with and without its subject indexing. The results indicated that AEI users would also lose, on average, about a quarter of hits per query. Second, an alternative research design was applied in which an experienced literature searcher was asked to find resources on a set of educational topics on an AEI database stripped of its subject indexing and then asked to search for additional resources on the same topics after the subject indexing had been reinserted. In this study, the proportion of additional resources that would have been lost had it not been for the subject indexing was again found to be about a quarter of the total resources found for each topic, on average.

- Abstract
- Gives tips for effective searching of full-text databases: think creatively about vocabulary and use of the OR connector to link synonyms; use truncation to pick up plurals and alternative work endings; anticipate international differences in spellimg, likie 'labor' and 'labour', and in vocabulary, like 'truck' and 'lorry'; avoid the AND operator, preferring proximity connectors like NEAR, WITHIN or PRE; use jargon instead of trying to anticipate all the abstract terminology that a writer might have used; and exploit any indexing available

- Abstract
- Tests the effectiveness of a thesaurus as a search-aid in free text searching of a full text database. A set of queries was searched against a large full text database of newspaper articles. The thesaurus contained equivalence, hierarchical and associative relationships. Each query was searched in five modes: basic search, synonym search, narrower term search, related term search, and union of all previous searches. The searches were analyzed in terms of relative recall and precision

- Abstract
- Homonymy is known to often cause false drops in free text searching in a full text database. The problem is quite common and difficult to avoid in Finnish, but nobody has examined it before. Reports on a study that examined the frequency of, and solutions to, the homonymy problem, based on searches made in a Finnish full text database containing about 55.000 newspaper articles. The results indicate that homonymy is not a very serious problem in full text searching, with only about 1 search result set out of 4 containing false drops caused by homonymy. Several other reasons for nonrelevance were much more common. However, in some set results there were a considerable number of homonymy errors, so the number seems to be very random. A study was also made into whether homonyms can be disambiguated by syntactic analysis. The result was that 75,2% of homonyms were disambiguated by this method. Verb homonyms were considerably easier to disambiguate than substantives. Although homonymy is not a very big problem it could perhaps easily be eliminated if there was a suitable syntactic analyzer in the IR system

- Abstract
- At Rotterdam Ports Authority in the Netherlands the Habour information database includes a press cuttings service and various online databases. To enable research staff to have direct access to information the POINT (Point Information Net) was begun in 1993. Using Verity software POINT provides simultaneously full text searching on a range of databases. The software uses current Web indexing technqiues to overcome the problems of excessive recall and low precision. A key element is the system's ability to recognise word combinations
