lot you pay more, use little then you pay appropriately little.

Key FeaturesAside from the vast array of source material there are certain features that would speed your research time:

• Combined Sources – search across a whole country’s newspapers, or a region, or all newspapers in English, worldwide; or worldwide company information.

• Create your own source – if you need to be more refined then permanently created your own source specific to your search needs.

• Segment Search options – choose which part of a document to search across. So if you know an article’s author, or you want reports on a specific company, then choose to search only across that information.

• Results Grouping – rather than having to scroll through a hundred search results you can list your results by source.

• Delivery options – any document can be printed, E-mailed or downloaded (with conversion to Word or PDF).

• Saved Searches and E-mail Alert – there will be certain searches you always want to keep and run; you can both save these and create an alerter to inform you by E-mail when new results come in.

Some advanced searching – Segment search

Choose from the different segments – each allow you to choose to search across only that part of the source document.

In our example here HLEAD means we are onlysearching across the Headline and Leading Paragraph of the Newspaper Articles.

This means you can reduce the number of resultsand make your search more refined.

Assisted Search templates

• The Power Search template, used for the previous search, is the primary search template, enabling you to search across any type of source, and allowing you to browse the Source Directory of over 36000 sources, by which you can create your own source.

• Additionally the service offers some assisted search templates in which you can search across some larger groupings of default sources, but this time specific to a general type of product. These are global in nature and the advantage of using them is that the whole search template is designed for that type of product.

• You will find the assisted search templates via the Red banner tabs…

Please note Public Records is only available for US users. Also if you subscribe to a menu that does not include any of these source areas (e.g. Legal materials) then you will not see the link to it.
