STN Easy for Intranets now provides a number of ways for you, as Site Administrator, to lend searching assistance to your end-users. The following options can be used to extend the appropriate degree of search strategy expertise to inexperienced searchers, leaving more of your time for mission-critical work. 

• Posted Results allow you, as Site Administrator, to perform searches with the full power of STN in any of the over 200 STN files and share the results with your user community on the STN Easy for Intranets site. Posted Results are displayed as an HTML page, including graphics and any full-text links. If you wish, Posted Results may easily be merged with Alert (SDI) results. Use of Posted Results is subject to the STN Information Keep and Share Program.
• Defined Searches allow you, as Site Administrator, to define and save a complete STN Easy query for your user community. These search strategies include an entire query, category and database specifications, and preferences for plurals and abbreviations. Your end-users can execute Defined Searches with a single click and are not permitted to alter a search strategy. Nevertheless, search results can be refined - as usual - for free.
• Saved Search Terms for Recall allows you, as Site Administrator, to define and save partial search definitions for your user community. Your end-users can recall saved query terms - including search terms, search fields, and Boolean operators - from Search Pages or from Refine Page and add to their own searches. Once the recalled search terms have populated the search boxes, end-users can still modify these terms.

Please see detailed instructions for using Predefined Searches in our FAQs.
