Word Search It is recommended that the retrieval software be able to search throughout a publication for every occurrence of a word, combination of words or alphanumeric strings, phrase or number. The entire contents of text provided must be searchable except for common "stop" or "noise" words (e.g., a, an, and. by. the). If there is a possibility that every occurrence of the search expression will not be found, the user should be so advised. The retrieval software should: • either ignore differences in the case of alphabetic characters or provide a caseinsensitive option. • either ignore differences in word pluralization or provide a plural-insensitive option. • allow the use of a wildcard (*) to match any sequence of one or more trailing characters at the end of a word. • allow a search with a single missing character (e.g., 35?72) B. Scope of Search (Domain) The retrieval software should allow the search to be limited in scope to: • A specific publication type • A specific publication C. Search Expressions Search expression construction should support the following Boolean operators and proximity statements: • And • Or • And not • Within 5 (before and after) • Within 10 (before and after) • User definable Within 1-99 (before and after) D. Search Results The search will return an unambiguous identifier (e.g., title) for each MRU (refer to Section 7.3.6 for a discussion of MRUs). Search results will be presented as a summary. Occurrences of the search expression within the MRU will be included with the summary. The retrieval software must provide a 30 MARCH 1999
