Searching Reference List


mgvh

Recommended Posts

I feel as if I'm missing something obvious, but I can't find an answer in the Help or in this forum.

  • I conduct a search
  • Not all the hits are relevant, so I send the ones I want to a reference list
  • Now I want to just search the results in that list.

QUESTION: How can I search the results in my reference list?

 

Using HITS does not work. I can't see how to convert the list to any kind of searchable text.

 

Is there another way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Thanks!

I just finished watching Joel Brown's Webinar and there he said that you can use Find to search within a Search. I didn't know that and am looking forward to trying it. I hope this is what you are looking for.

Kind of like this (screenshot of 13.2 in action) search within a reference list. And if you haven't seen Joel's presentation of 13.2 yet, be certain to check it out.

Ah, yes. I watched the 13.2 preview. Using the Find will help, but it won't give full search (Flex or root...) capabilities.

@Dan: Yes, the CONTENTS command was the one I was trying to think of.

  • Open a new tab with the text of choice
  • Use [CONTENTS reflist] <AND> _____    < search term

That does it! Thanks!
