Title

NLM's new proximity searching

Source

Medical reference services quarterly. 15(1996) no.1, S.57-62

Year

1996

Abstract

Reports the introduction of a new proximity searching capability to the NLM's ELHILL software in Mar 95. Searchers are now able to scan various fields in a citation for concepts contained within an individual sentence. The 3 proximity operators are: ADJ, NEAR and CONTAINS. At the time of writing, these operators are only available for searching MEDLINE and other ELHILL databases but not for PDQ or any of the TOXNET databases or data banks
