Exploding a Term from All Trees
Single-Term Searches
When an explosion is not appropriate, you can choose a single-term search. In a single-
term search, only the selected term is searched and not any of its narrower terms (con-
trast with explosion on page 23). Since you are not including narrower terms in your
search, you do not need to select a particular tree.
Note: Single-term searching produces exploded term search results for systematic
thesaurus terms due to the inclusion of a hierarchy in the records.
