Description
The CrossAsia Fulltext Search is built from textual resources hosted in the CrossAsia Integrated Text Repository (ITR) and is open to all users. Its aim is to help users find texts and sources relevant to their research questions by performing comprehensive fulltext searches across databases. Currently searchable: approximately 538,309 titles (books and issues) with 86.4 million pages archived in the CrossAsia ITR. The search interface offers two modes: a 'guided' search (Type A), in which hits are grouped and displayed by book and ranked by number of pages with hits; and an 'explorative' search (Type B), in which both fulltext and metadata are searched simultaneously and results are ranked by index score. In addition to fulltext search, CrossAsia also provides the CrossAsia N-gram Service, which publishes character frequency datasets for selected collections, and the CrossAsia ITR Explorer and CrossAsia ITR Newspaper Explorer, which enable analysis and visualization of data stored in the ITR. The ITR continues to grow with more fulltexts being added continuously.
