- 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
- 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
- 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
- Verity Search 97 software will index and search e-mail, attachments, folders and documents on local and network disk drives. The Internet may be searched via the same front end and changes to particular documents or pages may be monitored. Documents may be viewed in their native formats including ASCII, HTML, PDF and popular word processors, with highlighted search terms. Agents may be launched into the Internet to retrieve information according to a user-specified profile. The software can index about 700 MB an hour. Describes the search technology which includes fuzzy logic and natural language. The Web version of Personal Search 97 works with Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer, while the Exchange version will work regardless of any attachment to an Exchange server. Search 97 Personal improves online time and access time and allows searches to be refined offline

- Footnote
- Novice end users were given 2 hours of training in searching a full-text magazine database (Magazine ASAP(TM)) on DIALOG. Subjects searched during 3 to 4 sessions in the presence of a trained monitor who prompted them to think aloud throughout the sessions. qualitative analysis of the transcripts and transaction logs yielded empirical information on user variables (purpose, motivation, satisfaction), uses of the database, move types, and every question users asked during the searches. The spontaneous, naturalistic questions were categorized according to affective, cognitive, and sensorimotor speech acts. Results show that most of the searches were performed for the self and were work related. The most common use of the database was to retrieve full-text articles online and to download and print them out rather than read them on screen. The majority of searches were judged satisfactory. Innovative uses included browsing for background information and obtaining contextualized sentences for language teaching. Searchers made twice as many moves to limit sets as moves to expand sets. Affective questions outnumbered cognitive and sensorimotor questions by two to one. This preponderance of affective micro-information needs during searching might be addressed by new system functions
