You can see from the login message that the SCIsearch file includes citing articles from 1974 to the present. That means that you can forward search from articles earlier than that date, but will not find any hits prior to 1974.

You are currently in the SCISEARCH (R) File. SCISEARCH, produced by
the Institute for Scientific Information (R) (ISI (R)), is an
international, multidisciplinary index to the literature of science,
technology, and medicine. SCISEARCH contains all of the records
published in the Science Citation Index (R), plus additional records
from about 1000 journals from the Current Contents (R) series of
publications.
The SCISEARCH File contains records from 1974 to the present. The
file is updated weekly with approximately 14,000 new and updated
records.
The records in this file contain bibliographic information, cited
references, and, for records added since January 1991, author
abstracts, author keywords, and KeyWords Plus (R) added by the
Institute for Scientific Information. For records since 1983, the
Research Front information is included.
All information is searchable. The Basic Index contains single words
from the title, abstract text, supplementary terms (author keywords),
and supplementary terms plus (KeyWords Plus). Other information,
such as an author name, is searched using field qualifiers, e.g.,
S WINE J J/AU. The only words that are not indexed are the stopwords
AN, AND, AS, AT, BY, FOR, FROM, IN, NOT, OF, ON, OR, THE, TO, and
WITH. Stopwords are not indexed in the Basic Index, the abstract,
and the title.

What is contained in an SCI record?
The records in this file contain bibliographic information, cited references, and, for records added since January 1991, author, abstracts, author keywords, and KeyWords Plus (R) added by the Institute for Scientific Information. What follows is a typical SCI record (for an article published in 1999). You can see that it looks much like the records in CA. You should note, however that the AN is the SCI accession number, not the CAS accession number.
The end of the record, however is different. Beginning at the RE, you find that the record contains a reference table of all of the footnotes that were included in the article. These essentially are the tags by which this article can be found, starting with any of those references. The following lines define the columns in the references table and the fields (in parentheses, note that all begin with R) containing each bibliographic element.

AB Lactoferricin B (LfcinB) is a 25-residue antimicrobial peptide released
from bovine lactoferrin upon pepsin digestion. The antimicrobial center of
LfcinB consists of six residues (RRWQWR-NH2), and it possesses similar
bactericidal activity to LfcinB. The structure of the
six-residue peptide bound to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles has
been determined by NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics
refinement. The peptide adopts a well defined amphipathic
structure when bound to SDS micelles with the Trp sidechains
separated from the Arg residues. Additional evidence demonstrates that the
peptide is oriented in the micelle such that the Trp residues are more
deeply buried in the micelle than the Arg and Gin residues, (C) 1999
