22. June 12, 2015 22 Natural Language Searching  Ovid Natural Language uses four steps to help you search Ovid Books more thoroughly:  Natural Language analysis  Synonym Expansion  Passage Searching  Relevance Ranking

23. June 12, 2015 23 Natural Language Analysis & Synonym Expansion  Ovid filters to eliminate irrelevant terms and expands each concept using word variants taken from a proprietary medical lexicon.  Obtain best results by:  Stating your question as concisely as possible  Using nouns more than verbs  Avoiding common spelling errors – Spell Check  When searching Books@Ovid, the software automatically expands your query:  Singular and plural forms of your search terms (truncation )  Strong synonyms from a lexicon  Hyponyms (car is a hyponym of vehicle)  Acronyms (like an abbreviation)  Alternative spellings (British or US English)

24. June 12, 2015 24 Passage Searching & Relevance Ranking  Search results involve passages of text which include your search terms (and/or their synonyms). The closer the terms are to one another, the more relevant the results are likely to be.  Star Scores indicate how relevant passages are to your question.  ***** All search concepts are present and complete  **** All concepts are present but some are incomplete  *** One concept is missing  ** Two concepts are missing  * More than two concepts are missing
