Modify the HITS CommandModify the HITS Command
The HITS command can be modified in three ways:
- The @ symbol lets you add additional criteria for each word in the list. You can add a word or wild-card expression, the negative hyphen, and Key number, lemma The canonical (dictionary) form of a word, inflected, or grammatical information, depending on the type of text searched in the target (second) tab.
- Connecting commands such as <AND> and <OR> add more criteria to the search within the current field, in the usual way.
-
For untagged text, the default HITS search uses the list of words found by the search in the source (first) tab.
For tagged text, the list of lemmas is used.
- Additional modifiers can be used inside the brackets to choose a different list for the search in the target tab. These modifiers are entered with an equal sign directly after the word HITS.
- The modifiers are Keys, Inflected, and Tags. Only the first character of each modifier needs to be entered.
- [HITS=k tabname] uses the list of Key numbers from the source tab (Key numbers option, Key numbered text).
- [HITS=i tabname] uses the list of words (inflected forms) from the source tab (Words option, grammatically tagged text).
- [HITS=t tabname] uses the list of entire tags from the source tab (Tags option, grammatically tagged text).
- If the Select hit tab dialog box appears, select the appropriate modifiers below the Tab list. You can also enter the modifier directly into the command.
