Search Builder - Search Tips Below are a few useful notes about free text searching when using the anywhere selection: NewsEdge.com search supports stemming of terms. If you type in the word pharmacy, the search engine will also find pharmacies. If you type in the word develop, it would also find develops, developed and developing. NewsEdge.com uses both the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) as wildcard characters. But it is important to note that wildcard characters can only be used after a minimum of two characters. It is not a valid search to use a wildcard in either the first or second position of a word. The? wildcard takes the place of a character and will look for exactly 1 character. For example, if you type in pe?r, this will find the word pear or peer. If you use the * wildcard, the search will look for 1 or more characters. For example, an * at the end of the word pharma* will find pharmacy, pharmaceutical, pharmacist, pharmacology, etc. Advanced Search NewsEdge.com offers users the ability to access an Advanced Search window to type in more complex search expressions which can include grouped expressions, incorporating keywords, phrases, facet codes, multiple Boolean operators or even proximity operators

50 You will notice a large search box at the top and your Settings section on the bottom. You may need to click on the expand button ( ) to see your settings. You can begin to type your Boolean search query directly into the search text box. Use the Search/Browse Taxonomy option below the search box to help you identify company, industry, place, source, subject, and people codes to use within your search string. Add the term to the Search/Browse Taxonomy text box and click the lookup icon ( ). When you find the term(s) you want, click to have them added directly to your search string. By default, NewsEdge.com will add the term using the AND qualifier but you can change this by replacing it directly in the search query string. You can toggle between Advanced Search and the other search interfaces by selecting these from the navigation bar. If you are building complex queries in the Advanced Search screen, they may not appear in the Guided or Boolean Search interfaces. However, NewsEdge.com will keep you search query intact. Just as before, use the Search button to get search results. If you are satisfied with the results, then you can type a name into the Save current search box and save your search. Advanced Search - Search Tips Use quotation marks to enclose phrases and perform an exact search. For example, "joint venture"

51 NewsEdge.com search supports stemming of terms. If you type in the word pharmacy, the search engine will also find pharmacies. If you type in the word develop, it would also find develops, developed, developing and development. NewsEdge.com uses both the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) as wildcard characters. But it is important to note that wildcard characters can only be used after a minimum of two characters. It is not a valid search to use a wildcard in either the first or second position of a word. The? wildcard takes the place of a character and will look for exactly 1 character. For example, if you type in pe?r, this will find the word pear or peer. If you use the * wildcard, the search will look for 1 or more characters. For example, an * at the end of the word pharma* will find pharmacy, pharmaceutical, pharmacist, pharmacology, etc. Occurrence operators: If you are looking for articles that mention a phrase more than a certain number of times, use the following construction. The example below is looking for more than five mentions of iphone 5s : {"iphone 5S"}.occurrence>=5 Occurrence within headline/lead paragraph: When looking for a phrase that appears more than twice in the headline/lead paragraph, use: {"Samsung Galaxy S4"}.location=abstract,occurrence>2 NewsEdge.com supports the Boolean Operators AND, OR, NOT, WITHIN and FOLLOWEDBY. The proximity operator, WITHIN,#, where # represents the number of words between the first term and the second term can be used for advanced queries. WITHIN is a bidirectional search which means it will search x number of words forward and search x-1 number of words back. For example, to find stories where the word unemployment is within 4 words of the word government, you would type in unemployment WITHIN,4 government. This will find government aid for unemployment or unemployment figures boosted by government but will not find government sought aid for unemployment. The proximity operator, FOLLOWEDBY,#, where # represent the number of words after your first term the second term will appear can be used in advanced search queries. For example, to find stories where the word chemical is within 4 words of the word processing, you would type in chemical FOLLOWEDBY, 4 processing. This would find chemical banned from processing, chemicals were present in processing, etc

52 Group terms using the parentheses ( ). For example, (orange OR red OR yellow). For multi-statement searches where you want to search on multiple combinations such as (A or B) and (C or D) OR (E or F) and (G or H), you must do so in Advanced Search. To construct this search correctly, you will need extra parentheses around your initial clauses. This example would be ((A OR B) AND (C OR D)) OR ((E OR F) AND (G OR H)).

First select the days you wish to include in your schedule

67 After you choose the days, you will choose the times for when the alert will be run and sent. Alerts can be sent once a day or as frequently as every 15 minutes. Simply choose the frequency that is right for you and your recipients. Using our example, we have chosen to have our alert run twice daily on each business day and Saturday. Next, you will choose the saved searches you would like to include in your alert. If you know the name of the saved search, you can enter that into the Saved searches to send box and click or you can click to view the saved searches available to you. Choose from your personal saved searches as well as those available to your group or organization

68 You will also need to choose the number of results you want to receive. NewsEdge.com has divided this into three manageable components. First, you can set the number of results you wish to receive from each saved search in your alert. The maximum number is 50 results per saved search. If you set your maximum to 50 results and for any given saved search included in your alert that produced a number greater than 50 results, you would receive the top 50 new results since the last time your alert ran.
