A search is the organized pursuit of information. Somewhere in a collection
of documents, email messages, Web pages, and other sources, there is information
that you want to find, but you have no idea where it is. The Verity search
engine gives you the means of finding that information.
You conduct a search by issuing a query, which is simply a way of asking a question that will find the information you are looking for. Searching is often an iterative process. You submit a query and if the results list does not contain the information you are looking for, you modify the query until you locate a page that contains the answer. |
