Palestine: Information with Provenance

What about full-text search?

Is full-text search of articles available?

Yes, subject to the conditions given below.

Limitations on full-text search

A basic article search will look only at the title, abstract and commentary for articles (and, at the author's name, if specified).

Full-text search of articles and books is possible, but note the following points:

To avoid overloading the system, a full-text search must be restricted to a subset of the items in the database. This must contain no more than 120 articles/books.
This means that, before you are offered the full-text search option, you must have identified a group of articles which does not exceed this size.
This means that you must first use a search specification which identifies such a small group of articles. When the system returns these results, you will be offered the option of doing a full-text search through them.
If you are unable to identify a suitably small set of articles using a basic article search, try an advanced search to specify many other criteria for your search.

How to do a full-text search

First, use either a basic article search or an advanced search to identify a subset of articles in the database
Check that your search has returned no more than 120 items. If this limit has been exceeded, go back to step 1.
If your search has produced no more than 120 items, you will be invited to perform a full-text search of these. To perform the full-text search, use the button provided.
