Frequently asked questions

Why should I pay for IWW service if I can search Internet free using such search engines as Yahoo or Rambler?

1. Most of the 2000 IWW databases are not free. You have to pay if you directly subscribe to any of them.

2. With IWW you are actually searching not in the Internet but within more than 40 Gbytes of full-text information on IWW server. This guarantees the unique speed and relevancy of search results.

3. Our proprietary search engine "Artefact"; is designed to process texts in Russian. It is the result of 30 years experience in linguistic technologies, based on the Russian Grammar Dictionary, vastly supplemented by the contemporary lexis and linguistic algorithms.

How can I speed up the process of getting information?

Select only those databases groups that you want to use. You can do it by clicking the appropriate checkboxes at the FULL ACCESS page. You can do the same even within the SELECTED GROUP (e.g. "Newspapers") by clicking the appropriate checkboxes for the databases you need (e.g. "Trud").

Can I work with IWW service using several computers and the same login and password?

Yes, but not simultaneously. Each new user blocks the previous one. For multi-user access fill in the subscription form.

How long can I search with the free USD50 limit?

It depends on how many documents you will decide to retrieve in full after having read the free relevant search results. The first Kb of any fully retrieved document costs USD 0.2. Each following Kb of the same document costs USD 0.1.

Can I receive the full version of the newspaper or magazine?

Yes, you can receive the full version of any newspaper or magazine. In order to receive the full version you have to choose the needed database group ( for example "Newspapers") and choose the newspaper you are looking for (for example "Trud"). Push "See documents" at the right. On the top of the page you will see the list of numbers after the word "List of titles" which correspond to newspaper issues group (number 1- corresponds to the oldest issues)

I do not have a keyboard with Cyrillic letters. How can search in IWW databases?

In full access or free access modes choose English (transliteration) encoding and enter your transliterated query using English keyboard.

Encoding table
Encoding	Interface	Query	Search results
English (1251)	English	in Russian	in Russian
English (КОI-8)	English	in Russian	in Russian
