Begin with the document you wish to use as the basis of your
research. It could be an assignment, a set of notes, a syllabus, an
article or a part of a book. Cut and paste the text from this document
into the query box. Give your query a name (description). Make you sure
you tell us who you are so we can get results back to you. Now click
submit. When your query is processed, you will be sent an email letting
you know that results are available on a custom web page built just for
you and your query. Or feel free to check back after ten minutes or so.
Your results should be ready.
With each submittal you receive not only search results for
your
entire text but also separate results for each piece of that text. When
you go to the search results web page (making sure you are logged in)
you will be presented not only with the top results for your query as a
whole (shown via a hyperlink at the top) but also with the full text of
your query itself split into meaningful "chunks" (usually sentences,
paragraphs, or phrases - but note the software still has its quirks).
Each chunk shown is itself a hyperlink to a separate search based on
the text in just that chunk. Clicking through will reveal search
results at a more detailed scale (chunk by chunk) from your query. Now
you can browse your way through all the research you need.
