1. Searches are performed on a column bases. Thus,
to enter a search string move the mouse pointer to one of the blank boxes (search
box) located directly above the column label boxes and click the left mouse button
once. You can now enter text into this search box. You can enter separate search
strings above each column. Multiple search strings will be AND'ed together. For
example, if I entered "75A" into the Title column search box and "73"
into the Magazine column search box, I would see all articles containing the word
75A and which appeared in the Magazine 73. Search text is not case sensative, so
"75A" and "75a" will produce the same search results. 2. To begin a search click once on the box labeled "Search" at the bottom left. 3. Click on "Clear" to clear out the display grid and search boxes. 4. Click on "All" to view the entire Collins Article Index (Default on initial loading). Note, you do not have to display the entire index to perform a search. Searches are always performed on the entire index. 5. Click on "Up" or "Down" to move up and down a page at a time thru the index or search results. You can use the scroll bar located on the right side of the index window as a alternative to the up/down buttons, including drag control of the bar for quick scrolling. 6. At times the article title or other column text may exceed the length of a display column. You can place the mouse pointer to that particular grid box and click once. Then using the left or right arrow keys you can move the cursor bar (usually right) to move the unseen text into the displayable area. 7. On the lower left of the index window is a box which contains a number. Initially this number represents the total records in the index. However, after performing a search this represents the number of matches found. Only eight articles (or picture references) are displayed in the window at one time. |
