A basic search is done by entering criteria in just the Document Number or Keyword field and including (or excluding) basic search filters to refine your results. Any combination of filters can be used in addition to the document number or keywords you enter.
The Tips links provide a brief sentence on criteria format you can enter for better search results.
Basic search criteria include:
Document Number or Organization - You can enter document numbers that contain alpha and/or numeric characters, such as MIL-DTL-17. Alpha characters can be entered as either upper or lower case.
Keyword(s) or Text - Enter a keyword or a string of text, such as steel gate valve to search all of the document Titles and Abstracts. If you want to perform a full-text search of the entire content of all of the documents in IHS Standards Expert, click the All Document Text checkbox. The Titles and Abstracts check boxes are selected by default.
Titles - When selected, this searches the titles of every document in the IHS Standards Expert database for the document number or keywords you entered.
Abstracts - When selected, the application searches the text of abstracts for the keyword or document number you entered.
All Document Text - When selected, a full-text search is performed on all documents that match other selected search criteria.
Account Notes Search - When selected under the Keyword feature, the application searches Account Notes and returns documents that contain the keyword in the Account Notes text of the subject and body of the note.
Most Recent Revision - Standards documents are revised to reflect new requirements and modifications. By selecting the Most Recent Revision checkbox, IHS Standards Expert searches for recently revised versions of documents that match your other search criteria. A search on the Most Recent Revision documents can produce results with documents at various status levels.
Active Status - By selecting the Active Status filter, search results are limited to only those documents that the authoring organization has labeled as Active.
My Subscription - By selecting the My Subscription filter, search results are limited to only those documents for which you have a subscription.
Account Notes Filter - By selecting the Account Notes filter, search results are limited to only those documents that contain an Account Note.
My Publications Filter - Users who have access to My Publications can view an additional search filter for My Publications. By selecting the My Publications filter, search results are limited to only those documents identified as My Publications documents. The indicator identifying a My Publications document will be displayed in green in the title field of the ISE results list.
Go to ASME BPVC Table of Contents - If you subscribe to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler Pressure and Vessel Code (BPVC), this links to the Table of Contents tab where expandable folders and pages of ASME BPVC publications are provided.
