Open accessAbstract
A widely used method of efftcient search is examined in detail.This examination provides the opportunity to formulate its scope and methods in their full generality.In addL tion to a general exposition of the basic process, some important refinemertts are indicated.Examples are given which illustrate the salient features of this searching process.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“The ability to pass exceptions up to an enclosing context is convenient because it is quite natural to deal with an exception first locally and then more globally [19].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
