1.5 NOTES ON MARK-UP CONVENTIONS Materials in the database have been transcribed using original spellings and grammar. In some documents spelling is inconsistent, even within a sentence. For more information on mark-up conventions, contact the Editor. |
2. FIND SOURCES AND FIND AUTHOR
The Find Sources tool lets you find all the original works in the database that match your specific criteria. For example, you can find out all the sources published by Munsell's Sons or see whether a particular edition is included. Practical Example: Find all sources that have slavery as a subject.
Note: For a detailed discussion of the fields in Find Sources see the section on Fields and their Descriptions below. The Find Authors tool lets you find authors in the database that match your specific criteria. For example, you can find all the authors in the database that were born between 1850 and 1870. Practical Example: Find all authors born between 1850 and 1870.
Note: For a detailed discussion of the fields in Find Authors see the section on Fields and their Descriptions below. |
3.2 FULL-TEXT SEARCHING
Full-Text Searching is when you search for specific words or phrases that occur in the texts themselves. PhiloLogic supports wildcard characters and Boolean (logical) operators, which are modeled on UNIX regular expressions to perform "pattern matching" in full-text searching. Pattern matching allows identification of a large number of words corresponding to a defined pattern. Wildcard characters can be useful, for example, in identifying cognates made obscure by affixes and vowel weakening, inconsistencies due to irregular orthography, and variations on account of word inflection as well as for discovering potential emendations for uncertain readings. The most commonly used regular expression operators (wildcard and Boolean) are listed below. 3.2.2 Wildcard Characters in Full-Text Searching
Note: If you are using wildcard characters and would like to see a full list of the words matching your search-term, then run your search as a Frequency by Author search. The results page of a Frequency by Author search lists all the terms found in a database that match your search-term. 3.2.3 Wildcards and Boolean Operators in Full-Text Searching
3.2.4 Punctuation and Full-Text Searching
3.2.5 Selecting a Search Option PhiloLogic at this time offers two kinds of searches: "Single Term and Phrase Search," which is set up as the default; and "Proximity Searching in the Same Sentence or Paragraph." One may select and deselect a search option by clicking on the "radio" buttons. For a fuller discussion see the PhiloLogic User Manual |

5. RESULTS
5.1 SELECTING A RESULTS FORMAT At the head of any results format one finds the bibliographic criteria limiting ones search, the number of texts searched, the search term(s) entered, and the total number of occurrences of the search term(s) in the database. The number of occurrences displays at the bottom of the report if Philologic has not detected the number before generating the first 25 occurrences on the screen. 5.2 OCCURRENCES WITH CONTEXT Occurrences with Context is the default results format option. In this format each occurrence is represented by a short citation consisting of the authors name and the title of the work followed by links to the occurrences within several levels of context such as page, paragraph, scene, act, chapter, body, or contents. Below the citation there is a passage of text consisting of some forty words on either side of the key word, which is shown in red in the example below. Clicking on the links takes one to that level of context at which point one finds links to the previous and next sections. Links to the table of contents and occurrences have been disabled.
Bibliographic criteria: none Searching Entire Database for oppression.*. This page contains the first 25 occurrences.

But his testimony, though given before a learned and religious body, did not satisfy the yearning spirit of this humane and large-hearted Divine. He was anxious to do yet more for the suffering victims of avarice and oppression. In the year 1785, being then Vice Chancellor of the University, he made use of another opportunity to demonstrate his repugnance to Slavery, and his steadfast adherence to the cause of Freedom.

PhiloLogic displays as much text as needed to capture all words in a multi-term search and all search words are highlighted. The reference listed with the short citation is linked to the text. In clicking on the page number, one retrieves the full page with key words still highlighted. The same is true for paragraph and the three other levels of hierarchy. Links to the previous and next page, paragraph or levels respectively, if they exist, are provided. Note: Remember that, when searching for two or more terms within the same paragraph, the context display expands the amount of text displayed to include all of the search terms in the paragraph. At times the text displayed in a proximity search to accommodate all the search terms may be several screens in length since some paragraph divisions in documents in some databases are very far apart. In cases where a search finds more than 25 occurrences, PhiloLogic provides the first 25 occurrences with links at the bottom of the report to the remaining occurrences of the search in sets of one hundred. One may also retrieve a full list of occurrences which can be useful for down-loading or printing, but which may take some time to retrieve. Note: when results number over hundreds or thousands of occurrences, the report may not be complete when first starting to view results. In this case, one sees the message "The search is still in progress. 908 occurrences have been generated so far. (Please follow the link(s) below to check on the progress)". The server continues to append results until it has completed the entire report and, by clicking on any of the sets of one hundred, one can retrieve the full report. |
5.3 OCCURRENCES
LINE-BY-LINE
The Line-by-Line display indicates the number of texts searched, the search term(s) entered in a defined corpus, and the total number of occurrences found. (The number of occurrences displays at the top of the report if PhiloLogic has detected the number before generating the first 25 occurrences. If not, the total number of occurrences displays at the bottom of the report.) Following this general information is a list of occurrences. Each occurrence is represented by a short citation consisting of abbreviations for the author's name and the title of the work with a reference to where the term(s) in question occur within the document. References (e.g. Bayley:D1266-14) are a concatenation of an Author abbreviation, the document identifier within the database, and the Page Number. The report is followed by the Results Bibliography, wherein you can find a full citation for the References in the report. Here is an example of the Line-by-Line display (links to the table of contents and occurrences have been disabled). Bibliographic criteria: none Searching Entire Database for oppression. Your search found 1699 occurrences. Context Display Sorted by Author Sorted by Source Frequency by Year This page contains the first 25 occurrences.

Negro Universities Press, 1969, pp. N pag, [201]-267 A Line-by-Line Display differs from a Context Report in that it limits the text displayed to only a single line of text. The search term, which is highlighted, is centered in the line so that a user can quickly scan the results. At the bottom of the report one finds the Results Bibliography, which lists the full references for the short citations above. Unlike the Context report, a Line-by-Line Display only offers one level of linked context. The user may toggle from the Line-by-Line Display to a Context Report or to the results sorted by Author and Sorted by Source. In cases where a search finds more than 25 occurrences, PhiloLogic provides the first 25 occurrences with links at the bottom of the report to the remaining occurrences of the search in sets of one hundred. One may also retrieve a full list of occurrences which can be useful for down-loading or printing, but which may take some time to retrieve. Note: when results number over hundreds or thousands of occurrences, the report may not be complete when first starting to view results. In this case, one sees the message "The search is still in progress. [908] occurrences have been generated so far. (Please follow the link(s) below to check on the progress) ". The server continues to append results until it has completed the entire report and, by clicking on any of the sets of one hundred, one can retrieve the full report. Note: When executing a "Proximity Search," especially with paragraph set as the searching parameter, it is best to avoid the Line-by-line format since all search terms are not likely to be in the single line of text displayed. The term that is located first in the paragraph is the one that is centered in the single line of text. Using the Context results format ensures that all terms are included in the display even if the paragraph should happen to run for several pages. One can switch from a Line-by-line format to a Context Report format at any time while viewing results and switch back. PhiloLogic takes the user to the same set of results being viewed at the time of the switch. |
6. REFINED SEARCH RESULTS
6.1 FREQUENCY BY AUTHOR, YEAR, OR SOURCE Any definable corpus or search can be used in generating these reports. Unlike Context Display and Line-by-Line reports, these reports do not display text, only frequency statistics with links to occurrences displayed in the Context Display format. Note: the sets of occurrences linked to the frequency report are numbered in chronological order, not by frequency. In other words, clicking on the [Occurrences] link for a title at the top of the list could, for example, bring up occurrences numbered 21-28 instead of 1-8 because that title while ranked first in frequency is not first chronologically. 6.1.1 Frequency by Author A Frequency by Author report indicates the bibliographic criteria entered, the number of documents searched, the search term(s) entered, the number of unique forms derived from the search term(s) within the database, a list of those unique forms, and the total number of occurrences found in the defined corpus. Following this information, the report indicates the number of occurrences by author in descending order of frequency with individual titles listed with a link to the digital table of contents for each title and a link to the occurrences found within that title. This report also shows what terms within a database ones search criteria are searching (for example, one can discover that entering the search term mine* in the database searches for all these unique terms below. See below for an example (links to the table of contents and occurrences have been disabled). Bibliographic criteria: none Searching Entire Database for mine.*.

6.1.2 Frequency by Year Results can be sorted by using a Frequency by Year report. This report indicates how many times a word occurred in documents in a particular year. A Frequency by Year report indicates the bibliographic criteria entered, the number of documents searched, the search term(s) entered, the number of unique forms derived from the search term(s) within the database, a list of those unique forms, and the total number of occurrences found in the defined corpus. Following this information, the report indicates the number of occurrences by title in descending order of frequency with a link to the digital table of contents for each title and a link to the occurrences found within that title. This report also shows what terms within a database ones search criteria are searching (for example, one can discover that entering the search term protest* in the database searches for these unique terms). See below for an example (links to the table of contents and occurrences have been disabled). Bibliographic criteria: noneSearching Entire Database for protest.*.

6.1.3 FREQUENCY BY SOURCE
The Frequency by Source report is useful if one is curious how frequently an author uses term(s) in one work as compared to his/her other works or in his/her works as compared to others' works. A Frequency by Source report indicates the bibliographic criteria entered, the number of documents searched, the search term(s) entered, the number of unique forms derived from the search term(s) within the database, a list of those unique forms, and the total number of occurrences found in the defined corpus. Following this information, the report indicates the number of occurrences by title in descending order of frequency with a link to the digital table of contents for each title and a link to the occurrences found within that title. This report also shows what terms within a database one's search criteria are searching (for example, one can discover that entering the search term racism* in the database searches for all these unique terms). See below for an example (links to the table of contents and occurrences have been disabled). Bibliographic criteria: none Searching Entire Database for racism*. Number of Unique Forms: 6 Expanded Word List: racism | racism's | racisme | racismo | racisms | Racism Your search found 2340 occurrences.

6.2 NAVIGATING DOCUMENTS
FROM WORD SEARCHES
In Context Display one finds several options for viewing more context around one's matched term(s). In addition to page and paragraph, you'll see section and document. These divisions reflect the logical organization of the document from smaller parts (paragraph) to larger parts (document). What each level represents depends upon the text itself. Any part of any level may be selected by simply clicking on it. Once a user goes to a second level of context, he/she will find the search term(s) still highlighted. One may also find the next and previous sections for each level if one should wish to "flip through" the document by sections (provided that a next or previous section exists for a given level). Notes: In PhiloLogic notes never interfere when searching the text to which they refer. Note references are linked to notes and occurrences in text from notes are linked to page references. Note and page references can be found on any level of context (e.g., Page, Paragraph, Section, Document), but not from a first-level results screen. Images: Images are displayed as both inline images and linked to images once the user pulls up any level of context (e.g., Page, Paragraph, Section, Document), but not from a first-level results screen. |
