Searching Dialog: Find Command

Scope

• The find command is used more-or-less like the select / select steps (s / ss) command to indicate the terms you are searching for.
• The major difference is that find enables you to search for phrases without using proximity operators
  • There are two limitations to this capability:
    • If you are not sure of the exact word order of the phrase you are searching for.
    • If the phrase includes stop words.
  • You can use proximity terms n and w if either of those conditions exist.
• find also allows you to search for:
  • Combinations of new terms with previous result sets (Sn)
  • Combinations of expand set numbers with new terms.
