Additional Indexes (continued)
On the Search History page of DialogWeb in the Database text box, we see the name of the database we have been using for Brian's searches: Inspec, File 4.
We can click any of the buttons to see different parts of the Dialog
Bluesheet. For example, by clicking 
I would see the Basic and Additional Indexes.
Below we see the Additional Indexes from File 2. In the Additional Indexes, we can see Prefixes, two-digit codes followed by an equal sign. To narrow a search or to find one specific piece of information, we can type the command:

3 Files 2 and 3 only; dates of patent coverage are 1969-1976. 4 Available for conference proceedings and books only. 5 Search field includes journal title words and volume and issue numbers. Display varies depending on document type. 7 Role modifiers include: EL (element), DOP (dopant), BIN (binary system) SS (system with 3 or more components), INT (interface system), SUR (surface or substrate), ADS (adsorbate, or any sorbate, i.e., species being adsorbed onto a substrate). 8 Numeric data for each physical quantity (temperature, pressure, frequency, etc.) are indexed into a separate numeric field (TE=, PR=, FR=, etc.). In the record display, numeric values appear in an exponential floating point format, e.g., FR=2.5E04. 9 Truncation is not allowed when searching numeric data. Range searching is recommended for best results, e.g., S FR=25000:30000. The smallest and largest numbers that may be searched are 5.4E-79 and 7.2E+75. For specifying precise minimum or maximum numeric values, the LO= and HI= search prefixes may be used. LO= and HI= are generic prefixes not specific to any physical quantity. Searches using LO= and HI= should be qualified with the addition of the desired physical quantity using the NI= prefix. 10 Each physical quantity and its corresponding abbreviated unit of measure are optionally searchable using NI=. | ||||
