EXPANDing in OneSearch

When searching multiple files using OneSearch, you can EXPAND in all databases (e.g., EXPAND CS=HARVARD) or in a particular database (e.g., EXPAND CS=HARVARD FROM 311).

You can enter SET DETAIL ON to display an additional column in the EXPAND display to show which file(s) contain the EXPANDed search term. You can also use SET POSTINGS ON to display the record count as well as the number of occurrences.

• To EXPAND in multiple files using OneSearch and SET DETAIL OFF (the system default):
