Cat Functionality Definition Examples and Comments
N
Search - User
Defined Boolean
A search feature that permits
the logical association of terms
to narrow the results of the
search by scope (data module,
ETM, database, etc.).
Commonly supported logic
include instances of both x and
y appear (Logical AND),
instances where neither x nor y
appear (Logical NOR), and
instances where only x or only
y appear (Logical EXCLUSIVE
OR).
N
Search - Across
multiple
databases / files
A search feature that allows the
user to look for Key Words
(assumes common key words)
or Full Text instances in
several different data
collections (i.e. databases).
N
Search - Key
Word
A navigational feature that
allows the user to search an
ETM for occurrences of a
specific word. System specific
"key words" are predefined with
links to their location in the
data. This provides benefits
similar to an Index in a paper
document. Associated
advanced features might
include (1) links to the portion
of the ETM containing the
word. (2) A “word wheel” that
narrows the focus of search
with each letter typed into a
dialog box. (3) Searches
across multiple data sources
[See ”Logical Next and Back”]
Example - A user might search for the
term "IFF". The Key Word Search would
locate each pre-identified occurrence of
the term in the data This will find all
occurrences of IFF that have been
predefined as a key word but not find all
occurrences of the letters IFF.
