Full Text Search (FTS)

FTS provides a mechanism for efficient indexing and retrieval of electronic full text stored in DRS. Search options include Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), quoted phrases, and proximity. For indexed text items that have dates associated with them, searches can be qualified by a date or date range. The FTS server is accessed as an option of the Page Delivery Service (PDS) for searching the full text (such as OCR) of page-turned objects. The FTS server can also be accessed directly, as in the case of the Harvard-Radcliffe Annual Reports. See Creating an FTS Search Form for more about offering FTS search from an external web site.
