Using Partial Field Names
When specifying field names in queries, you can save time and typing by using partial field names. A partial field
name is a beginning fragment of a field name; the fragment must contain enough characters to uniquely distinguish it
among the fields defined for the database being searched.
For example, while searching a database for which the fields publisher, pubdate, review, and recdate have been
defined, you could compose a query using publ to specify the publisher field or rev to specify the review field.
Note: If you use a partial field name that is too short (i.e., it uses too few characters to uniquely identify a particular
field) PLWeb Turbo may search against a field other than the one you intend to use.
