GL B IV 3.2 Documents discovered after completion of the search

Error message

Deprecated function: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in include_once() (line 1445 of /home/patently/domains/xepc.eu/public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc).

Deprecated function: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $nid is implicitly treated as a required parameter in include_once() (line 1445 of /home/patently/domains/xepc.eu/public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc).

It may happen occasionally that, after completion of a search report, the search division discovers further relevant documents (e.g. in a later search for a related application). Such documents may be used in examination (see C‑IV, 7.4).
