The DialogWeb Dialindex search (also known on DialogWeb as "Databases") has
not been withdrawn with the release of the version 2.0 of DialogWeb.
With the new version of DialogWeb, as you noted, when you go to
<http://www.dialogweb.com> you are now required to logon with your user id
before accessing any further pages. Once logged on, you are automatically
taken into Guided Search mode, and from here you can choose which subject
areas you wish to search. DialogWeb will then give you database selections
to choose from and a search form to complete.
In order to access Dialindex (known as "Databases"), as you are used to
doing, you should enter Command Search (see link at bottom right of the
Guided Search page). Once in Command Search mode, you can choose to start
command searching straight away or use Dialindex "Databases". If you choose
to use Dialindex "Databases", this is available at no charge.
If you prefer to have Command Search as your default search mode, this can
be done by clicking on ?Settings? whilst in Guided Search Mode. Each time
you log on thereafter you will then be taken straight into Command Search
Mode and will have the option to use Dialindex "Databases".
We apologise for any confusion this change may have caused and have passed
on your comments to our product development team.
If anyone has any further queries about the new version of DialogWeb,
please do not hesitate to contact The Dialog Corporation helpdesk on 0800
690 000.
