Submitting Background Queries and Saving
Results
If you need to retrieve a large number of documents, do the following:
1. Submit your query as usual (in the foreground), but do not bother to
wait for any results.
2. Save the query results (regardless of how many results have been
returned so far):
a. Click
Query Manager
in the toolbar, and then click the
Save Results
tab.
This displays the
Save Results
panel of the
Query Manager
page.
b. Name the saved results using the
Save Search Results as
field.
c. Click
Save Now
.
4. Access the saved results – see
Accessing Saved Results of Background
Queries
, on page 2-23.
The
Clear
button erases any text you have entered in the
Save Search Results as
field.
Note:
Results of background queries are not retrieved in order of age.
They are sorted by age after they have all been retrieved (query
processing is
Finished
). This means that if you access the saved
results before the query is
Finished
, the results are not sorted.
When you save query results, your query is in fact resubmitted as a
background process that retrieves all results, no matter how many. Because
the query runs in the background, you can continue to use the RISS Web
Interface (for example, by submitting other queries).
A
background query
is sometimes referred to as an
unbounded query
as
opposed to a
bounded
(or
foreground
) query, which you submit normally. Use
a background query whenever you need to retrieve a large number of
documents. A typical example is an audit query.
