DialogWeb Help: The Search Categories

Guided Search has eight main search categories

Each main category is associated with several lower-level category options, and these levels may, in turn, have other options for you to select.

The eight main categories display when you logon to DialogWeb. Links to lower-level category options display below the main levels. You can select a main category, which displays an expanded list of category options, or you can select one of the links to display only the selections for that option. For example, the main category, Intellectual Property, lists options for Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, and Other Sources. If you click Intellectual Property, all of these search options and their associated links display. However, if you select Patents, only the Patents search options display.

The Targeted Search and Dynamic Search options display at various points in the search category selection process.
