Getting Better Search Results is the Theme of This Week’s Newsdesk Enhancements

This week’s enhancements give you even more control over the precision of your search results and help you share the latest news more effectively with improvements to the Newsletter, keyword highlighting, and article extracts.

Precise Search Results:

Under the “Extras” tab, there are options to set which keywords get highlighted and which keywords the extracts center around. This is most useful for searches that use AND.

New search Parameters:

Start of article searches, START/x:(word1 OR word2)

Use the start option to specify the first x words of an article that your keyword(s) must appear in. This helps to improve the relevancy of your results as it ensures the search terms are mentioned early on in the articles.

search: START/150:(OECD OR “World Bank” OR IMF)

- Returns articles that contain the words OECR, “World Bank”, orIMF in the first 150 words.

Near searches, (word1) NEAR/x (word2)

Use the near search to specify the maximum number of words between your search terms. This allows you to qualify search results by specifying relationships between the keywords in your search.

search: (Vodafone “T-Mobile” O2) NEAR/10 (iPhone iPad)

- Returns articles than contain Vodafone, T-Mobile or O2 within 10 words of iPhone or iPad.

Multiple occurrence searches, MULTIPLE/x:(word1 OR word2)

Use the multiple occurrence search option to specify the minimum number of occurrences of your keyword. This is especially useful in avoiding single passing mentions of keywords, thereby boosting the relevancy of the articles.

search: MULTIPLE/5:(ScotRail)

- Returns articles that contain at least five mentions of ScotRail.

Wildcard searches now work for phrases:

search: “flu vaccin*”

- Returns articles that contain the phrases “flu vaccine”, “flu vaccines”, “flu vaccination”, “flu vaccinations” etc.
