DialogWeb Help: Using EXPAND in DIALINDEX and OneSearch

EXPAND in DIALINDEX
You can use the EXPAND command in DIALINDEX (File 411) with individual databases and categories. However, no E numbers are shown in the EXPAND display as they cannot be SELECTed in File 411.

Because the default setting for File 411 is SET DETAIL OFF, the total number of postings from all databases entered displays when EXPAND is used with DIALINDEX. Enter set detail on to display an additional column in the EXPAND display that shows which files contain the search term. Enter set postings on to display the record count as well as the number of occurrences.

EXPAND in OneSearch
When searching multiple files using OneSearch, you can EXPAND in all databases, for example e cs=harvard, or in a particular database, e cs=harvard from 311.

You can enter set detail on to display an additional column in the EXPAND display that shows which file(s) contain the EXPANDed search term. You can also enter set postings on to display the record count as well as the number of occurrences.
