Thanks - I'll check it out > Also, it only searches by topic right now, since I don't have > time to add UI for anything else. Suggestions welcome. Going by the current way I can search PubMed by specifying a query string, wouldn't is be possible simply to take the WoS query string and send it to the web service? That is, in the text entry box, one could write: TS=(QSAR) AND AU=(Stanton) and the above string would simply be passed in as the query field. So you're not restricted to just search on topic (TS) but can include title (TI), author (AU), publication year (PY) etc. Obviously a UI for individual fields is nice, but if you're familiar with WoS you can simply type in the query as you would in the WoS web page interface (faster for expert use) (I just tried it with the Python client and it seems to work fine) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rajarshi Guha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG Fingerprint: 0CCA 8EE2 2EEB 25E2 AB04 06F7 1BB9 E634 9B87 56EE ------------------------------------------------------------------- Heisenberg may have been here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
