Boolean Logic:
Proximity:
● Proximity search looks for words that appear close to each
other within a specified distance. For example, searching
"bake NEAR/5 cake" finds instances where "bake" and
"cake" appear within five words of each other, which helps
in locating related terms in context.
Fuzzy Searches:
● Fuzzy searches find words that are similar to the search
term, accommodating spelling variations and typos. For
example, searching for "color" might also return "colour."
This is useful when dealing with documents containing
typographical errors or different spellings of the same word.

Browse Capabilities
1.Ranking:
○ Ranking orders search results by relevance or
importance. This helps users see the most relevant
items first, based on criteria like keyword matches,
document popularity, or date of publication. For
example, a search for "renewable energy" will show
the most relevant articles at the top.
2.Zoning:
○ Zoning divides a document into logical sections such
as title, author, abstract, and main text. This helps in
targeted searching within specific sections. For
example, a user might search only within the
"abstract" zone to find articles with relevant
summaries.
3.Highlighting:
○ Highlighting visually emphasizes search terms in the
results. When users search for a keyword, this
feature highlights occurrences of that keyword in the
displayed documents. This makes it easier for users
to spot the relevant information quickly.
Miscellaneous Capabilities
1.Vocabulary Browse:
○ Vocabulary browsing allows users to explore terms
and their relationships within a specific domain or
subject. It often includes browsing through an index or
thesaurus to find related terms and expand searches
effectively. For example, exploring synonyms and
related terms for "biodiversity."
2.Iterative Search & Search History Log:
○ Iterative search involves refining searches based on
previous results to narrow down to the most relevant
information. The search history log keeps track of all
earch queries, allowing users to revisit and refine
s
past searches for improved results.
3.Canned Query:
○ Canned queries are pre-defined searches created for
common queries. These saved searches can be
quickly executed without having to re-enter the search
criteria. For example, a canned query for "latest
technology news" would fetch up-to-date articles on
that topic.
4.Multimedia:
○ Multimedia capabilities involve searching and
retrieving various types of content like images,
videos, and audio files. For instance, users can
search for educational videos, photographs, or music
files, enabling a richer and more diverse search
experience.
