How to
use "Defined Searches"
|
| Principle: |
The "Defined Searches" option allows you to completely
define and save an STN Easy search, including all the search terms,
search fields, and the databases to be searched. A "Defined
Search" may be executed, without any modification, at a later
time. This option is recommended for frequently used search strategies.
|
| Benefit: |
"Defined Searches" make your information search more
convenient, time-saving and efficient. You don´t have to recreate
search strategies once again at later time.
|
| How to use: |
E.g. start a broad "Defined Search", then
refine it for free with specific terms to narrow your search.
|
| Costs: |
Saving of "Defined Searches" is
free of charge. Standard STN Easy search prices are in effect. |
| Note: |
Within "STN Easy for Intranets"
only the Site Administrator is allowed to save "Defined Searches"
for the user community. |
