SDOC Operator

SDOC = same document

Family records are built from individual family member records and

all family members contribute search terms to the search context.

Thus we can connect & combine search terms from all the different

family member in a composite pool, puzzle or picture of family text.

Example : collaps+ and keyboard?

Sometimes we may want to isolate the search to just one document

or family member. The SDOC operator permits one to specify that allsearch terms must be found in same document or family member.

Example : collaps+ sdoc keyboard?

Using the command line

One may enter search terms in the regular query boxesand then click on show command line to modify/add,or one may create searches directly in comand line box

Rules for using command line entry box directly:

1. Use parentheses: If you use multiple operators within the same

search statement it is necessary to specify the processing order.

Semiconductor? W((field? Effect? Transistor+) or +FET?)

2. Use post-qualification when using field qualifiers (/field name):(Semiconductor? W((field? Effect? Transistor+) or +FET?))/bi/tx

(Semiconductor? W((field? Effect? Transistor+) or +FET?))/abs
