Support : Dialog Search Aids : Successful Searching : SET : SET KWIC

SET (continued)

SET KWIC

Abbreviation: K
Command Format: SET KWIC nn
Availability: DialogClassic Web
DialogLink 5*

DialogWeb—Command


*See Usage Notes

For use in databases that offer the KWIC (Key Word In Context) format, you can use the SET command to specify any window size between 2 and 50 words. Enter SET KWIC nn, where nn represents the total number of words you want displayed in each window. The KWIC setting you specify remains in effect until LOGOFF, or until you change it with subsequent SET KWIC commands.

The system default for a KWIC window is 30 words. A space precedes the ellipses (...) to each window, to make it easier for you to locate the KWIC retrieval. See SET HILIGHT for related information.

• To set a KWIC window to 14 words:

?set k 14
KWIC is set to 14.
?set hi ***
HILIGHT set on as '***'
?select video(w)phone or videophone
          110322  VIDEO
           11746  PHONE
             167  VIDEO(W)PHONE
             811  VIDEOPHONE
      S1     957  VIDEO()PHONE OR VIDEOPHONE
?type s1/k/1
