Abstract

Commercial software products are available with plain English searching capabilities as engines for online and CD-ROM information services, and for internal text information management. With plain English interfaces, end users do not need to master the keyword and connector approach of the Boolean search query language. Describes plain English searching and its impact on the process of full text retrieval. Explores the issues of ease of use, reliability and implications for the total research process
