After entering a query, you can activate the Relate Advisor by clicking its radio button and clicking the Get Results button. The advisor then generates, on-the-fly, a list of words in the current database that are statistically related to the words in your query. Words are considered related if they exhibit a significant degree of co-occurrence within records.
The Relate Screen displays the most significant related terms, ordered by degree of co-occurrence with your query words. If a word in the list occurs in more than one active database, the number of parent databases is displayed parenthetically.
You can include any Relate Screen entry in your query by clicking it and then clicking the Add Terms to Query button. You can select multiple words for inclusion by control-clicking them (command-clicking for Macintosh clients).
After clicking the Add Terms to Query button, you will see your selection(s) appended to your current query.
