Section 4 Indexing Exhaustivity
Results when the three different levels of indexing exhaustivity
are compared are given in Figs. 4.400T - 4.405T and 4.410T -
4.415T. Three sets of questions are presented separately, being
the 221 questions (subset 3} searched on the 1400 collection, the
35 seven starting term questions (subset 1} searched on the 1400
collection, and the 42 questions (subset 2} searched on the 200
collection. Results for index languages I.l.a and 1.6.a are given.
and the three different performance curves for each question subset
and language are given in Figs. 4,420P - 4.425P. No adjustment
has been made in these graphs for the d£ffer/ng generality number
amongst the different plots, since only the relative position of the
curves on each plot is important.
