LIST OF SETS

The List of Sets (shown below) displays the set of records created as a result of a Find query, or, in the Browse function, as a result of saving selected records using the Save As option.The list appears in the lower pane of the Find node.

To see brief and full display of records in a specific set, highlight a set and click Show. The display of the records is explained in the Show section.

5.0 REFINE

If a set is too large or too small, you can narrow or broaden the search by entering "Refine" qualifiers in the right side of the right pane in the Find node:



To broaden the search, choose, for example, OR. To narrow a search, choose AND, NOT or a specific field to perform the search in, then enter a string in the Refine Query field. The Refine button will now be active. To perform the refine operation, click .

The Refine action will only be performed on an existing set. The selected set is crossed with a new find query in order to produce a new set that is broader or narrower than the original one.

If you select the Words Adjacent option, the system retrieves records in which the words in the search string are in the same field and appear next to each other in the record.

4.2 CROSS SETS

You can cross sets by highlighting the appropriate sets, choosing the appropriate cross function, and clicking Cross Set (which will only be active if more than one set is chosen).



For crossing sets with AND and OR, choose as many sets as you want. For First set not second and Second set not first, you may choose two sets only.

First set not second will retrieve all records that contain the keyword(s) of set 1 but not the keyword(s) of set 2. Second set not first is the opposite condition, that is, it will retrieve all records that contain the keyword(s) of set 2 but not those of set 1.
