Searching Date Ranges

Instead of using the "greater than" (>) or "less than" (<) signs to limit your search to specific years, limit to a specific range of years using the colon (:). For example, instead of "s py>1999" try "py=2000:2003." In most cases, Dialog will process a year range using the colon much faster than the same range using the > or < sign.
