Power Search

Use Insight’s Power Search to develop, organize and refine comprehensive sets of search queries. You can use the Search Assist to manually create and enter your search queries. Once entered, you can run the searches, report the hit count, including the total unique hits, and the number of documents returned. You can also select to include a total of the documents and their related documents. The total hit counts reflects the number of returns for all the searches you entered. Some of the same records may be returned in more than one of your queries, so this number may be larger than the number of total number of documents returned. You can also choose to return the total number of documents and related documents.

You also have the option of entering additional search criteria to create parameters (a scope) for your entire group of searches. Perhaps you need to run your searches against a particular requirement or need to be able to quickly QC all of your documents and the key terms. For example, you need to run all your key terms within a date range. You can quickly do this and select the collections to search and select the document population’s language to optimize your search results.

Power Search has a threshold of 1,000 queries per search group. When entering multiple searches, each term or phrase is considered one search. Perhaps you have several privilege terms that you need to search. If you use another Search mode, you can run one search with all your terms, but you will not have a breakdown for each term. You would have to search each term separately. Power Search allows you to add all your terms and then quantify the results by each term and quickly retrieve all of the documents or just the documents meeting a specific term.
