Here’s a preview of Factiva changes and enhancements scheduled for installation on or around March 25, 2006:
Factiva Search 2.0 Beta
The March product release offers enhancements to Factiva Search 2.0 Beta that many customers have requested. Factiva Search 2.0 Beta represents the first integration offering of Factiva Discovery Technologies, providing a unique visualization of your search results. Visit our Factiva Search 2.0 Beta FAQ page at http://www.il.proquest.com/techsupport/docs/FS20.htm to learn more. Good news! The Factiva Search 2.0 Beta period will continue beyond March.
Search 2.0 Beta will become a tab within Factiva.com and will be available to all Factiva.com customers. The Try Search 2.0 Beta link at the top of Factiva.com will be removed.
Print, e-mail or download multiple articles
Much-requested post-processing capabilities provide users with the ability to add up to 25 documents to a session-based clipboard. Simply click on the icon next to a headline to add the document to the Clipboard. Once in the Clipboard, documents can be printed, e-mailed or saved. Once the session ends, the Clipboard is emptied.
More Search Options
Users can click on More Search Options to go to a screen that allows them to add targeted elements to their search. Search options include: all of these words, at least one of these words, none of these words, this exact phrase, this Source, date range (last day, last week, or last month). More Search Options is located on the initial Search screen.

Discontinued Icon Added to Source Lists
The description Discontinued is currently found next to sources that are no longer updated. Discontinued is being replaced by an icon to indicate its inactive status.
More often than not, Discontinued indicates that a source is discontinued due to a publisher’s decision to cease overall publication of the source. This much-requested change gives users a better understanding of Factiva’s content collection.
Related Factiva Intelligent Indexing Terms Returned in Interface Languages
The display of Related FII Terms in search results was inadvertently changed to English language only in December. This change returns the display of the terms to correspond with the interface languages.
