  • Latest 5 years – Searches the current year and the last four years that we entered records in the product database For example, 2003 to 2006 plus 2007.

  • Year to date Searches the current year. For example, January 2007 to June 2007.

  • Latest 4 weeks Searches the last four weeks of data that we entered in the product database.

  • Latest 2 weeks Searches the last two weeks of data that we entered in the product database.

  • Latest (current) week – Searches the most recent week of data that we entered in the product database.

Note Not all timespan years may be in your subscription. If specific years are not available, contact your System Administrator for more information.

Search Tip

The default timespan selection is All Years, where "year" refers to the year that the information was entered in the product database and not necessarily when the document was published.

However, search results are sorted by Publication Date. When you restrict your search to a smaller timespan (such as Latest 2 weeks), the system processes all items (both new and old articles) and sorts them by Publication Date.

Did You Know ...

The timespan you select will remain in effect until you end your session or until you make another selection.
