Support : Dialog Search Aids : Successful Searching : BEGIN HITS

BEGIN (continued)

BEGIN HITS

The BEGIN HITS command allows you to directly transfer the results of a DIALINDEX search session into the Dialog databases that contain relevant records, or "hits."

Use the following steps to easily move from DIALINDEX into other Dialog files:

1. BEGIN File 411.

2. SET FILES (SF) to the files, categories, or combination of these that you want to search.

3. SELECT your search terms (remember to enter your terms in a single statement, since no sets are created in File 411).

4. RANK FILES (RF). This command is optional; BEGIN HITS will also work without the RF command.

5. SAVE TEMP to save your search strategy.

6. BEGIN HITS;EXS. (This tells Dialog to execute your search in the files that contain hits; see EXECUTE STEPS).

• To use BEGIN HITS to move out of DIALINDEX into the Dialog files containing hits:
