Answer Page Overview

Close this window

When your search is complete, an overview of the answers is shown on the Answer page.

The Navigation Frame is displayed at the left of the page for quick access to the search types, Help, and other information about STNEasy.

Your Search question and total number of answers is displayed. A List of Answers is shown in table format; you may access more answers by clicking links to additional pages of answers, if they exist. Display Options for this database are provided at the bottom of the page.

Tip: If no answers are retrieved with your search question, click the desired search option on the Navigation Frame and enter a new search question. The $2.00 search fee does apply to searches that retrieve zero answers. The answer that no information is available for that particular search term is important information. Use of the Browse Index feature can help to minimize the occurrence of zero search results.

Tip: If too many answers are retrieved, try the Refine feature. Since refining is free, you can start with a fairly broad search topic and refine until you have a manageable answer set. Use your browser’s Back button to return to the broad answer set, and refine it as many times as you like.

The Save button allows you to save the entire search strategy for later use (Defined Search option) or to save only the search terms for later recall (Saved Search Terms option).
