Three search mechanisms are avaiable on DiSC'99:
Use the following applet to search through any of the HTML pages included
in DiSC'99. (This utility requires a Java-capable browser; Netscape Navigator
4.0+, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0+ recommended.) Enter one or more
keywords below and select find. Query results will be displayed
in a list, from which you can select individual pages. Selecting the new
win option will present your selection in a new window.
This CD-ROM provides a full text index for those papers included in
DiSC'99. The index is based on text extracted from the scanned paper images
using optical character recognition (OCR) techniques. The accuracy of the
text extraction process is limited in some cases by the quality of the
original typescript; this can also affect the quality of text that can
be selected using the Acrobat text selection tool.
You can utilize the full text index with Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.01+
With Search, which can be found under the install directory
of the ACM SIGMOD Anthology CD #3, or online at Adobe's
Acrobat Web Site. Once within Acrobat Reader, select tools/Search/Indexes
from the menu, then Add. Select the file Disc99.pdx
from the root directory of DiSC'99 CD#1.
To search for specific words of phrases, select Tools/Search/Query,
and enter your keywords in the dialog box.
For additional information on performing full text searches, choose
the Help/Plug-In Help/Using Acrobat Search menu entry for complete
details.
Also available on DiSC'99 is an index of all SIGMOD'98, PODS'98, and
VLDB'98 authors, along with their contributions. The Author
Index can be selected at any time from the menu to the left.
