Search histories, called transcripts in STN, are kept for all STNEasy sessions for at least 4 days after the end of the session.

Search histories show:

• Date and time of the session
• Category you searched
• Search question
• Details of answers from the Display page

Lists of Answers are not saved as part of the history.

Search histories are available in both HTML, RTF, and Portable Document Format (PDF).

The history for the most recent session is displayed in HTML format.
