Types of search
Further options influence the appearance of the displayed data:
ANS shows a list of answer numbers for each term (Exception: display fields that include key identifying
information such as patent numbers, accession numbers, and CAS Registry Number ® identifiers.);
DETAIL shows the terms with appended field tags (particularly useful if multiple fields have been selected);
DELIMITED shows the data in a delimited format appropriate for automatic processing (e.g. to enter the data
into a spreadsheet to create a chart).
27.3.1 Using an ANALYZE result for searching
An ANALYZE result can easily be used for a further search or analysis. The following options are available:
1. Apply SEARCH to the L number or TRANSFER to all terms of the L number of the ANALYZE result, e.g to
transport the terms to another database,
2. Apply TRANSFER to some terms of the ANALYZE result or to a subset limited by one of the options DGT,
OGT, PGT, TOP, WITH, or NOT.
3. Apply SELECT to the L number of the ANALYZE result. The same options as above (2) may be used. The
result will be an E-numbered list that can be used in the same way as any other E-numbered list.
Example: Using the result of L3, further analysis is to be done. The new base to be used are the patents of Symrise in
the technologies represented by the 10 most frequent classifications (Subclasses). Variant 3 is used first:

C11B/IPC OR A23F/IPC OR A61Q/IPC OR C11D/IPC OR A23G/IPC) AND L1
(In place of SELECT another ANALYZE could have been used.)
Using TRANSFER (Variant 2) the same result is obtained this way. As IPC.F is not a search field the correct search field
needs to be inserted:
=> TRANSFER L3 117 119 127 137 138 158 174 175 176 183
L5 TRANSFER L3 117,119,127,137,138,158,174,175,176,183 : 10 TERMS
'IPC.F' IS NOT A VALID FIELD CODE
