DIALOG PREVIEWS THE RANK COMMAND
PALO ALTO, CA, 7 December 1992 - Dialog Information Services, Inc.
will preview an upcoming system feature, the RANK command, at the
International Online Meeting in London. The RANK command is an
analysis tool that reveals statistical trends in search results. It
counts the occurrences of unique terms within a specific field or
fields from an established search set, thus allowing searchers to
irnmediately pinpoint the essential information contained within
DIALOG records.
The RANK command is available in most DIALOG files, as well as
OneSearch (R), and has been designed to work in most phrase-indexed
Additional Index fields, most numeric Additional Index fields, and
with phrase-indexed Descriptor (DE) and Identifier (ID) Basic Index
fields. RANK easily answers search questions such as:
- What cities in France have the highest concentration of typesetting
shops?
- What companies hold the most patents for hair-coloring products?
- What are the largest industries in Canada? In which cities are
these industries concentrated?
- Who has authored the most articles on computer voice recognition?
Analyzing search results will be easy and quick with this new
command. Up to 50,000 records can be RANKed at one time. As an
introduction to this new search analysis tool, the RANK command will
be offered free for the first three months it is available; after
this free offer the cost in most databases will be just $0.02 per
ranked record.
