Topic Tags

Dialog NewsEdge Topic Tags help all users search more effectively. A Topic Tag represents keywords and proven search strategies defined by industry experts that identify the right stories. Each Topic Tag is maintained by the Dialog NewsEdge staff of editorial specialists.

Topic Tags help the novice user search with the precision and accuracy of an advanced searcher. For example, a user may be interested in locating critical articles relating to drugs used for the treatment of cancer. By using Topic Tags, the searcher can simply select the tag for "Cancer Drugs." Instead of creating a complex query, the novice selects a single tag that represents all the keywords and search strategies needed to identify the right news. An advanced user is also able to leverage the tags along with Boolean logic to create complex and comprehensive queries that pinpoint relevant news and information.
