Managing Search Histories
In MMS, search queries and answer sets will be automatically retained for up to 1 week at no charge (the system’s cache of temporarily saved results is usually cleared on Saturdays). These items will remain automatically in the QT (Query Text) input, or in one of the four system “Mem” lists (temporary memory lists, MEM1-MEM4). Once the user saves a query or a results set using the “STO” command, they will then be saved until they are deleted. For any permanently saved queries or answer sets kept longer than 1 week, charges will apply.
The following commands in Questel allow users to view and manage their saved queries and results:
| HI R | History of answer sets of the current week |
| HI QU | History of saved queries |
| HI CN | History of saved CN lists |
| HI BT | History of saved Batch or Power-Batch |
| HI QO | History of saved Questel•Orbit lists (lists of CN numbers that are extracted from bibliographic records and imported into MMS). |
| BACKUP | Remove the last search statement |
| BACKUP n | Remove the search statements after and including the search statement number (N) |
| KEEP m-n | Keep the selected search statements in the strategy while removing others |
| ER | Erase the last search statement from the strategy |
| ERSLL | Erase all existing search statements |
| SAVE search name | Save a search temporarily (kept 7 days free of charge) |
| STORE search name | Save a search permanently |
| EXECUTE search name or EX < search name > |
Execute a saved or stored search |
| EX from < file > | Execute the strategy from a previous file in a new file |
| PURGE search name | Erase a saved or stored search |
It is also possible to manage search strategy from the Imagination interface. The two figures below show examples of this feature being conducted from the Search Strategy Management wizard in the results tab.
Managing Search Histories in JChem
According to the JChem user guide:[1]
When a query is executed the query definition and the hit list is saved for you to use again in the future. This is done using the Lists and queries window. This window is open by default, but if it is closed, you can open it by choosing Window -> Lists and queries. The window contains nodes representing queries and lists.
The help guide goes on to describe how to create temporary and permanent queries in JChem:[1]
When a query is executed, a temporary query is created, allowing you to re-execute it at a later time. Like lists, there are two types of query - temporary and permanent. Like lists, they can be renamed or deleted. Temporary queries can be made permanent and vice versa.
A full description of how to save and manage queries in JChem can be found here.
