Using the EXPAND Command (continued)

In File 9, I'll use the EXPAND command to conduct the search on Electronic Arts, then refine it to see what Electronic Arts is doing with Sega, and finally narrow it to the most current year. Here's how it will look.

Step 1: EXPAND using the appropriate prefix and term:

e co=Electronic Arts

Enter the command in the text box and click Submit.

Step 2: SELECT the E-numbered lines that contain variations for the company Electronic Arts.

Because I don't know much about Electronic Arts, I want to get all of the entries for this company listed in the database. I will choose E numbers e4 through e9 and enter the command at the question mark prompt:

s e4:e9

I want the Electronic Arts company that is involved in video games, and I want to see what Electronic Arts and Sega are doing against each other.

I can now refine my search to include sega in my search. My search would look like this:

s s1 and sega
