    Abstract
    Relevance search engines, which measure the occurrence of search terms in a group of retrieved records and rank them accordingly, often produce better results than refined Boolean searches. Relevance searching has emerged from the research stage to be on the verge of becoming the standard retrieval method. Describes and evaluates the operation of DIALOG's TARGET, a major accomplishment, despite some rough edges

    Abstract
    Reviews DIALOG Select: DIALOG's latest end user service which is delivered via the WWW and targeted at knowledge workers in business and sci-tech professions. It covers 250 of DIALOG's databases. Database selection and initial searching is through a classified set of menus. Formatted screens are then used to develop search queries. Initial results are displayed in short form and arrangement is by date. Pricing is by record charges plus connect time for search operation. Although it is a highly effective search tool, the service is lacking many of the facilities Web users expect
