Support : Dialog Search Aids : Successful Searching : SET : SET HILIGHT

SET (continued)

SET HILIGHT

Abbreviation: SET HI <ON or OFF>
Command Format: SET HILIGHT <ON or OFF>
SET HILIGHT <character(s)>
Availability: DialogClassic Web
DialogLink 5*

*See Usage Notes

HILIGHT allows the search terms you SELECT to be highlighted in the records viewed with TYPE or DISPLAY. HILIGHT is available only in databases that offer the KWIC (Key Word In Context) format and is not available for PRINT output. See SET KWIC for related information.

To use the HILIGHT feature, enter the command SET HILIGHT ON. To cancel, enter SET HILIGHT OFF. HILIGHT can be abbreviated as HI (e.g., SET HI ON).

The style of highlighting depends on your equipment and connection. The system defaults to bold. Alternatively, you can define a character or series of characters (up to 5) to be used around highlighted terms. To do this, enter SET HILIGHT followed by the specified character(s), (e.g., SET HI #, or SET HI $$$).

Note: It is recommended that multiple highlighting characters be used in textual databases only. In numeric data, highlighting characters cause columns in formatted data to be offset.

• To turn HILIGHT on:

?set hi on
HILIGHT set on as '*'

• To specify a HILIGHT character:

?set hi ***
HILIGHT set on as '***'

?select rfid
      S1       2888  RFID
?type s1/k/1
