Introduction

Welcome to AND CompLex 3.5

AND CompLex 3.5 provides a sophisticated platform enabling you to access a broad range of electronic publications from encyclopedic reference works to textbooks, company reports, and multimedia guides. AND CompLex 3.5 organizes these publications for you using the familiar metaphor of “Books”, “Bookshelves”, and “Bookcases”. Like a library, AND CompLex 3.5 Bookcases can contain multiple Bookshelves, and Bookshelves can, in turn, contain multiple AND CompLex Books.

An AND Book is any file that can be viewed, browsed and searched using AND CompLex 3.5. A Book might consist entirely of text and graphics; however, a Book may also consist of a set of audio files, a set of video files, or a combination of many different types of media. Within a given Book, information is often arranged into units called “Articles”, which are displayed as a single unit and which form the basis of search results. Like printed books, Articles may contain subsections, illustrations, sidebars, and other ancillary material. Long or complicated Articles are sometimes linked together to form Compound Articles with sections and subsections much like the chapters and sections in a printed book.

AND CompLex 3.5 offers many ways in which you can locate, organize, and utilize the information in AND CompLex Books. You can, for instance, browse through a Book, search a Book, search several Books simultaneously, and look up all occurrences of a word or a phrase in the complete text of a Book or in a set of Books. You can use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) and proximity criteria to refine your searches and reduce the number of results from your queries. You can attach your own comments to Articles and create your own collections of Articles. You can easily copy the information you find and insert it directly into your Word or WordPerfect files.

Many AND CompLex Books are designed to provide additional, powerful ways of finding specific information. Books may offer the ability to search within particular parts of a Book or even within parts of an Article, for example, within the definitions or the etymological information contained within the headword entries in a dictionary.


Important characteristics of AND CompLex 3.5

Some of the important characteristics of AND CompLex 3.5 include:

•	Use of the familiar reference terminology of Books and Bookshelves. A Book is any file accessible by AND CompLex 3.5. AND CompLex 3.5’s search capabilities are enhanced by grouping Books on related subjects on a Bookshelf. When there is more than one Book on a Bookshelf these Books can be simultaneously consulted. Cross referencing also allows you to search between Books located on the same Bookshelf.

•	Quick completion of all processing, such as navigating through your Books, via AND CompLex 3.5 32 bit application.

•	Quick access to the most common functions using the right mouse menu. The pop-up shortcut menu is context sensitive, providing you with functionality where and when you need it.

•	Detachable Articles allow you to place your search results on your Desktop for later use, before undertaking further searches.

•	Hyperlink access to the World Wide Web! Hybrid CD-ROM/On-line Books give you the speed of the CD-ROM combined with the Web’s ability to furnish you with the most recent information. Simply click hyperlinks within your Book to open your Internet Browser at a defined Internet address containing additional or updated information (requires Internet connection).

•	Word Treasurer which includes thesaurus, synonym, word stem, and related word support, allows you to broaden your search criteria to include words or phrases having the same meaning.

•	Easy application of your search results by AND CompLex 3.5 full integration with your Word or WordPerfect applications. (Windows version).

•	Customize the application’s layout as desired using dockable windows, bookshelves, and bars: The List Window, Bookshelf and the Toolbar are dockable to the Main Window or they can float anywhere on your desktop.

•	The AND CompLex 3.5 Help system includes extensive context-sensitive information about the program. If you need help information about a specific window in AND CompLex 3.5, simply open that window and press Help or F1.

Books and Bookshelves

The term “Book” refers to any file (usually with the extension .AND) that can be viewed, browsed and searched with AND CompLex 3.5. Remember that “Book” is used as a metaphor; in CompLex 3.5, a Book may actually consist of text and graphics, a set of audio files, a set of video files, or any combination of these media types.

Books are represented on the Bookshelf by a Book icon. The appearance of the Book icon on the Bookshelf shows the status of the Book as “closed” or “open”.

To open a Book, click the corresponding Book icon. Only one Book can be open at a time.

You can add or remove Books from the Bookshelf using the Books menu, and you can save your own collections or combinations of Books as Bookshelves.


Bookshelves

AND CompLex 3.5 enables you to save each combination of Books you use together as a Bookshelf. Multiple Bookshelves can be combined to form a Bookcase. Your Bookshelf will be saved in a file with the extension .ABS. By opening the Bookshelf file, you can retrieve your new combination of Books. You can compose as many Bookshelves as you want, and you can change the composition of your Bookshelves whenever you wish. You can place any given Book on as many Bookshelves as you wish.

To change an existing Bookshelf, open that Bookshelf and use Add Book... or Remove Book... from the Books menu.

To create a new Bookshelf, choose New Bookshelf from the File menu. The Main Window will reappear with a new, completely empty Bookshelf. Use Add Book... or Remove Book ... from the File menu as needed to compose your Bookshelf. Books are placed on the Bookshelf in the order in which you add them.

To save your Bookshelf, use the Save Bookshelf as... command from the File menu.

To open an existing Bookshelf that you created during an earlier AND CompLex 3.5 session, choose from the list held in the File menu, or use the Bookcase icon to the left of the Bookshelf. To open a Bookshelf for the first time use Open Bookshelf from the File menu.

To remove a Bookshelf, use Remove Bookshelf from the File menu.


Bookcase

The Bookcase represents multiple Bookshelves. Each Bookshelf you create becomes part of the Bookcase. No matter how many Bookshelves your Bookcase contains, only one Bookshelf can be displayed at a time. The Bookcase displays Bookshelves in the order in which you have most recently used them.

To view the different Bookshelves in your Bookcase, click the arrows on the left of the Bookcase or click the shelf above or below the current shelf.

Note: Holding your mouse stationary over the upper or lower levels of the Bookcase will pop up the previous or next Bookshelves’ names.


AND CompLex 3.5 and the right mouse menu

Adding User Notes

AND CompLex 3.5 User Notes Window enables you to attach personal comments to any given Article.

Open the User Notes Window by clicking the User Notes button (see above) or by choosing Add Usernote from the Article menu.

To add a User Note, proceed as follows:

1.	Make sure the Article to which you want to attach your comments is displayed in the Main Article Area.

2.	Position your cursor at the point within the Article at which your note should appear. You can add notes at more than one position in an Article.

3.	Click the User Notes button or choose Add Usernote from the Article menu.

4.	Enter a title for the user note and type in your text.

5.	Click OK

The User Note icon will now appear at the cursor position.

You can view, edit, or delete a user note at any time by clicking on this icon.

You can view, edit, or delete a User note at any time by clicking on this icon.

The first time you want to add a note to an Article in any given Book, a window will appear asking you to name the User notes file. A special file (with the extension .USN) is created for each Book to which you add User Notes. When you have added one or more User Notes to a Book, AND CompLex 3.5 will add an index called “User Notes” to the Index Selector in the List Window. Choose the User Notes Index from the Index Selector to find user notes quickly. Each note will be listed in the User Notes Index under the name you entered in the User Notes Window.

To remove all User Notes from a Book select Close UserNote File from the Book menu. This removes the User Note Index and all of the User Notes attached to the Articles, however, the User Note file is saved for later use.

To open the User Note file once it has been closed, select Open User Note File from the Book menu. Select the User Note file with the extension USN and click OK. The User Note Index and all of the User Notes attached to the Articles are once again available.

Note:

Only one User Note file can be open at a time.

When movingto an updated version of a Book you can import the old version’s User Note file.

Before you can import the User Note file you first have to export if from the old version of the Book. Open the old version of the Book and select Export Usernote File from the Book menu. From the Save as Window save your User Note file as a Text document with the extension .TXT.

Open the new version of the Book and select Import Usernote File from the Book menu. Locate the file you have just saved and open.

Importing is also useful for combining User Note files. When you want to combine two User Note files, open the first User Note file and export as described above. Now open the second User Note file, and using the Import Usernote File command, import the User Note file you have just exported. The contents of the first User Note file have now been added to the second User Note file. You can continue with this process to keep adding the contents of User Note files.


Simple searches

You can perform simple searches quickly and easily using the List Window. Here you can look up one specific word in a Book, using its Main Index or any of the other available indexes. The following sections explain how to use the List Window.

Selecting an Index

Selecting a word from the active List

Multiple Results

Using Wildcards

Hierarchical browser

Cross referencing


Selecting an index

In AND CompLex 3.5, all searches are run against a particular index. Therefore, before you type in the word or phrase you wish to search, you must select the appropriate index from the Index Selector, shown here:

Most Books contain at least two indexes: a Main Index, listing by title all the Articles in the Book, and a Full Text Index, listing all the words in all the Articles in the Book.

Books may also have a Hierarchical index containing levels that you can expand or collapse to hide or display groups of Articles and subgroups within a group of Articles (such as sections within the chapters in a textbook, for example). Selecting an Hierarchical index allows you to select an Article by clicking through the index’s layers in the List Area.

To select an index for your search:

1.	Open the Index Selector. The drop-down box shows the indexes available in the open Book.

2.	Select the appropriate index. The corresponding List (the content of the index) appears in the List Area in the lower part of the List Window.

See also Selecting a word from the active List.


Selecting a word from the active List

To select a word from the List, you can use either the scroll bar on the List Area or enter text in the Input Box. AND CompLex 3.5 also allows you to locate entries by typing the first letters of the word you are looking for in the Input Box. The List will then scroll and the highlighting on the List will move, as you type, to the entry that best matches the term you have entered.

You can also use Windows standard copy and paste commands to enter a term.

If the List contains an exact match for the term you wish to search, you can then simply double click the entry on the List or press Enter. The corresponding Article will be displayed in the Main Article Area. Multiple results will be listed in the Results Window.

See also Selecting an index and Multiple results.


Multiple results

Selecting a List entry from the Main Index of a Book most often leads directly to a single Article. However, when you use another index to search a word, like the Full Text Index, multiple results are common. Multiple results are displayed in the Results Window, which automatically appears when the search is complete. They show the open Book, the number of hits, and the search terms followed by a list of all entries (Articles) meeting the search criteria.

For example, if you were to search for the word “engagement” using the Full Text Index in an encyclopedia, you would locate all occurrences of the word anywhere in the complete encyclopedia. Your result would be a list of all entries (Articles) in the encyclopedia in which the word “engagement” appears, as shown here:

You can now choose which of these results to view. Double click your choice and the corresponding article will be displayed in the Main Article Area. Your search term will appear highlighted in the text:

See also Results Window.


Wildcards

You can use wildcards in the Input box  if, for example, you are not sure how a word is spelled or if you would like to see all words ending in specific characters. For example:

- If you are unsure of the correct spelling of a word, you can use a wildcard to display variations: type “M*cKenzie” in the Input Box, to find both “McKenzie” and “MacKenzie”.

- If you would like to find words in the current List that match a particular pattern, you can use a wildcard to display all such words: type “*ful” in the Input Box, to find “awful”, “wishful”, “wonderful” and so forth.

AND CompLex 3.5 provides two kinds of wildcards: the asterisk “*” and the question mark “?”. The asterisk represents zero or more characters; the question mark means a single character. For example, “*ate” will search for all words ending in “ate” (“abbreviate”, “mate”, “litigate” and so forth including the word “ate” itself), while “?ate” will search for any four letter words ending in “ate”, such as “late”, “mate”, “gate” and so on.

In both cases, all index entries matching your pattern will be displayed in the List Area, in the form of a new List as shown in the following illustration:

You can also use wildcards in the Search Window to compose more complicated queries.


Hierarchical browser

Some Books include a hierarchical index analogous to the Table of Contents found in a printed book. In AND CompLex 3.5, hierarchical indexes contain levels that you can expand or collapse to hide or display groups of Articles and subgroups within a group of Articles (such as sections within the chapters in a textbook, for example).

As shown above, an expanded Article and its subgroups can be visually distinguished by the level of indentation you see in the browser. In addition, different icons are used to make a distinction between collapsed and expanded groups of Articles, and to show which levels expand and which lead directly to an Article.

To expand an item that is collapsed (that is, no subgroups are shown), double click the icon or the item text. Similarly, you can collapse an expanded item by double clicking. Double clicking the elements on the lowest level of nesting (those which do not contain any subordinate groups or Articles) displays the corresponding Article text.


Cross-referencing

A particularly powerful aspect of AND CompLex 3.5, the cross-referencing system acts like a hot-spot or hyperlink on any word in the text display, allowing you to move between related Articles and Books with ease. Cross-references can be made both within the currently active Book and from one Book to other Books on the current Bookshelf.

To cross-reference in the current Book, follow these steps:

1. Double click or click and drag in the Main Article Area to select the word you want to cross-reference.

2. Click the Cross-reference button or use the Lookup Selection command from the right mouse menu.

AND CompLex 3.5 will first search the Main Index of the current Book for the word you have selected. If no matching Article Title is found, the program will then search the Full Text index. If there is a single match, the corresponding Article will be displayed. In case of multiple results, the Results Window will appear, showing the matching Articles. If there are no results in the Main Index or in the Full Text index, the List of the Full Text index will highlight the best match found, plus the Results Window will appear, showing that there are no hits for the cross-reference selection.

To cross-reference from one Book to another, highlight your word and click the icon for the desired Book on the Bookshelf.

See also Results Window.


Other windows of AND CompLex 3.5

The AND CompLex 3.5 user interface also offers several other windows for advanced functions, including:

- the Search Window, which helps you compose more complicated queries than can be handled from the List Window

- the Results Window, which allows you to preview a list of search results when your search produces hits on more than one Article

- the History Window, which maintains for you a list of all Articles you have visited using AND CompLex 3.5

- the Spike Window, which enables you to create your own collection of Articles for later use

- the Local Find Window, which enables you to perform searches within the Article currently displayed in the Main Window

- the User Notes Window, which allows you to attach, save, and organize your own personal comments to Articles

- the Print Window, which allows you to print the Article in the Main Article Area or a selection in the Article

The Word Treasurer


The Word Treasurer

The Word Treasurer allows you to search using related words. Words added using Word Treasurer are treated as if there is a Boolean OR between them; an occurrence of any of the words in an Article produces a hit.

The additional words can be gained by:

•	Related Words; whereby a related words list is used to provide a list of words having the same meaning.

•	Wordstemming, whereby the word’s stem is used to provide a list of words sharing the same stem.

•	Thesaurus support, whereby a thesaurus is used to provide a list of words having the same meaning

•	Synonym support, whereby a synonym list is used to provide a list of words having the same meaning

Not all Books have an Index or Indexes which support Word Treasurer features.

When an Index in a Book supports one or more of the Word Treasurer features, a Word Treasurer button appears when you check the Index (usually the Full Text Index) on the Search Window’s Detailed Search tab. Entering text in the Index’s Input Box activates the Word Treasurer button.

Click the Word Treasurer button to open the Search Information Window containing search conditions and the number of hits for the entered word.

To use Word Treasurer’s extended search features, click the Extend button to open the Word Treasurer Window.

The Search term box displays the selected word. The right lower Selected words box lists all words which will be used when searching the index. The Treasury type drop-down box contains the available extended search functions. The left lower Selection box lists the related words generated by the Word Treasurer function for the selected word.

To add related words to your search, select which of the available Word Treasurer functions you want to use from the Treasury type drop-down box. For the selected Treasurer function a list of related words appears in the Selection box. Highlight the word you want to add to your search and click the Copy Selection button. The word is added to the Selected words box. To select all related words for the highlighted Treasurer function, click the Select All button.

To further extend your search criteria, either type a new word in the Search term box, or use the drop-down arrow to select a term from the index. You can now reuse the Treasurer functions to add more words to your search list.

To remove a word from your Selected words list, highlight and click the Remove button.

When you have made your selection of related words, click the OK button to add them to your search criteria, and return to the Search Information Window. To exit without adding words, click the Cancel button.

The Search Information Window displays the number of hits for each word, plus the total number of hits for all of the selected words.

To use one of the selected words to include more words in your search , highlight the word and click the Extend button to reopen the Word Treasurer Window.

To remove one of the selected words from your search, highlight and click the Remove button.

When you have finalized your selection from the Word Treasurer, click the OK button to return to the Search Window's Detailed tab. Note how each word gathered using the Word Treasurer, is connected using the Boolean operator OR.


The Search Window

To execute more complicated queries than those which can be carried out from the List Window, you can use the Search Window with Detailed or Global Search.

Open the Search Window by clicking the Search Window button on the Toolbar or by choosing Search... from the Search menu. Click the tabs in the Search Window to switch between Detailed Search and Global Search.

Both the Detailed and Global Search Windows allow you to compose tightly defined multi-term queries using Boolean and Proximity operators and Wildcards, so that you can focus your queries on rigidly specific results or broaden your queries to cast a wide net in your search for useful information.

Use Detailed Search facilitates to query more than one index in one specific Book. Books may also support the Detailed Search Window’s Word Treasurer, which allows you to use related words when formulating your search criteria. From the Detailed Search Window, you can also save the results of a query and then execute a new query limited to searching on this set of results; that is, results from a query can become a filter for refining subsequent queries.

On the other hand, Global Search allows queries to run across more than one Book at a time. The Global Search Window allows you to choose which Books on your current Bookshelf to search and which index in each Book to use in your search.


How to use the Global Search Window

For searching across more than one Book at a time, use the Global Search Window. Open the Search Window and click the Global tab to open the Global Search Window, shown here:

To execute a global query, follow these steps:

1. Decide which Books you wish to use in your query.

By default, all Books will be searched. Use the check boxes to select or clear the selection of any specific Book. Click Check All or Uncheck All to select or clear the selection of all Books.

2. Choose an index for each Book you wish to use in your query.

By default, AND CompLex 3.5 selects the index of all words (usually called “Text” or “Full Text”) for each Book included in the query. The Main Index and Full Index buttons allow you to switch quickly between the Main Index (usually a List of all Article Titles) and the default Full Text Index across all the Books you have selected. You can also use different indexes for different books. To select an index for each Book you wish to use, you can either:

- Position the mouse cursor on the Book icon and select the desired index from the right mouse menu.

- Click the desired Book to highlight the BookName (make sure that the check box for this Book is selected). Then, use the drop-down box in the lower part of the window to select the appropriate index. The set of indexes shown in the drop-down box is specific to the highlighted Book.

3. Use the Input Box to type in your search expression. When your expression contains non-standard letters, such as brackets, enclose the expression in quotation marks to ensure it is read as part of the search term.

4. Make a decision on using wildcards, Boolean or proximity operators, matching case and matching accents.

AND CompLex 3.5 allows you to refine your queries and simplify your results by using wildcards wildcards, Boolean operators (AND, OR and NOT), parentheses for setting precedence, and proximity criteria to find characters or words within a specified distance of one another.

To include wildcards in your search expression, use the Wildcards check box to select this option. Without this option selected, the symbols * and ? do not represent wildcards, but are searched as the literal characters “*” and “?”.

The Match case and Match accents check boxes enable you to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters and between accented and non-accented characters. By default, AND CompLex 3.5 searches ignore accents and are case-insensitive.

5. Click the Search button to execute the query.

When the query starts, the Search button changes into Stop. Use this button to halt the execution of your query.

6. If your query produces a single result (a single Article), the Article will be displayed automatically. When you find multiple results, the Results Window will appear automatically, listing the search results for each Book. In the Results Window, you can view the results found in each specific Book by clicking on the corresponding Book icon. Double click a result to display the corresponding Article in the Main Article Area.

Click here for an example of using Global Search.


Global Search example

Suppose you want to find every occurrence of the terms Amsterdam and Netherlands in a dictionary, an encyclopedia and a history book.

To execute this query, proceed as follows:

1.	Click the check boxes of the aforementioned three Books to use them in the query.

2.	Click the Full Index button to set the indexes of all three Books to full text. Remember that using the Full Text Index means that the search will run against all words in each Book. If, for example, you were interested only in complete Articles on Amsterdam or the Netherlands in an encyclopedia, you could choose the Main Index for this particular Book, limiting your search in this case to Article Titles only.

3.	Type in the Input Box: “Amsterdam<OR>Netherlands”. You can type in “<OR>“, use the “OR” button, or use the right mouse menu to insert this Boolean operator in the Input Box.

Note that if, instead of an <OR>, the second Boolean operator had been <AND>, the result would have been quite different, consisting only of Articles containing both “Amsterdam” and “Netherlands” rather than Articles containing either or both as is the case with the Boolean OR.

4.	Click the Search button to execute the query.

The Results Window (shown below) will appear, showing the Books searched and the number of results in each Book. Click the Book title to expand the listing in order to view the list of Articles in that Book for which hits were found.

Click for more information on using the Global Search Window.


Match case

The Match case check box in the Search Window can be used to differentiate between lowercase and uppercase letters.

When Match case is selected, AND CompLex 3.5 will search only for occurrences of the search pattern that are in exactly the same case as the string you typed in: for example if you have typed “for”, the set of results will contain only Articles in which “for” occurs. Articles with “For” will not be included. When Match case is not selected, the resulting Articles will contain occurrences of both “for” and “For”.


Match accents

The Match accents check box in the Search Window can be used to distinguish between accented characters like “ë” and non-accented characters.

When Match accents is selected, AND CompLex 3.5 will search only for characters as you typed them in the Input Box: a search pattern with “ë” will result in occurrences containing “ë”, but will miss Articles containing “e”, “é”, “è” or “ê”. When Match accents is not selected, Articles containing all these accented characters will be included in your results.


How to use the Detailed Search example

For searching across more than one index in a specific Book, and to create search filters, use the Detailed Search Window. Open the Search Window and click the Detailed tab to open the Detailed Search Window, shown here:

To execute a detailed query, proceed as follows:

1.	Decide on which set of data the query will be executed.

You can choose to search the complete Book that is currently active in the Main Window or you can base your new query on the results of a previous query you have saved as a filter file (see Step 8 in this procedure). To select a filter, click the Filter check box to select this option and then click the Browse button to open a window where you can look for the desired filter file (.QRS files). Select a filter and click OK to place it in the Filter Input Box.

2.	Select the index or indexes that you want to use in your query by clicking to place a check mark in the check box next to the index name.

An index is used in the query only when its check box is selected.

3.	Enter a search pattern in the respective Input Box for each index you selected.

You can directly type into the Input Box, or use the drop-down arrow to select from the index’s contents. You can also use Windows standard copy and paste function to enter text.

When your expression contains non-standard letters, such as brackets, enclose the expression in quotation marks to ensure it is read as part of the search term.

When you execute your search, the search terms that you have entered for each index are combined as if there was a Boolean <AND> between them. For example, if you select the Article Title Index and the Text Index, your results will include only those Articles that satisfy both criteria; that is, both terms you enter must be found in their respective indexes in order to generate a result.

4.	Make a decision on using wildcards, Boolean operators, proximity searching, matching case, matching accents, and, when supported by a Book’s index, related words, word stem, thesaurus and synonym support.

AND CompLex 3.5 allows you to refine your queries by usingwildcards, Boolean operators (AND, OR and NOT), parentheses for setting precedence, proximity criteria to find characters or words within a specified distance of one another, and a Word Treasurer to add related words to your search criteria.

Books may contain Multiple Selection indexes, which allow you to select more than one entry without having to use the Boolean operator OR.

To select more than one entry from a multiple selection index, click the Make Selection button to open the Make Selection Window.

Select more than one entry by holding the Shift key and clicking the entries you want to select. When you have made your selection click the OK button. The terms you selected appear with the Boolean operator OR between them, with the resulting search producing a hit when any of these terms occur in an Article.

To include wildcards in your search expression, use the Wildcards check box to select this option. Without this option selected, the symbols * and ? do not represent wildcards, but are searched as the literal characters “*” and “?”.

The Match case and Match accents check boxes enable you to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters and between accented and non-accented characters. By default, AND CompLex 3.5 searches ignore accents and are case-insensitive.

The ability to search for compound words by entering the stem, or using a thesaurus or a synonym list to include related words, is index dependent. Not all Books have an Index or Indexes which support these additional search features. When one or more of these features are present, a Word Treasurer button appears when you check the Index (usually the Full Text Index). Entering text in the Index’s Input Box activates the Word Treasurer button. Click the button to open the Search Information Window containing search conditions and the number of hits for the entered word. To use extended search features, click the Extend button to open the Word Treasurer Window. From the Treasurer type box you can access the extended search feature and select related words to add to your search. For details see Word Treasurer.

5. 	Click the Search button to execute the query.

When the query starts, the Search button changes into Stop. Use this button to halt the execution of your query.

6. 	When the search is complete, the number of results found will be displayed above the corresponding Input Box for each index separately. In the lower part of the window, on the left, you will see the number of results matching the complete search pattern.

7. 	If your query produces a single result (a single Article), the Article will be displayed automatically. When you find multiple results, the Results Window will appear automatically, listing the search results for each Book. In the Results Window, you can view the results found in each specific Book by clicking on the corresponding Book icon. Double click a result to display the corresponding Article in the Main Article Area.

Detailed Search example

Suppose you are interested in encyclopedia entries about dog breeds. You can accomplish this by searching an encyclopedia looking for Entries in the Main Index containing the word dog and for definitions containing the word “breed”.

To execute this query, proceed as follows:

1.	Make sure your encyclopedia is the active Book.

2.	Open the Search Window.

3.	Click the check box to select the Main Index. The Main Index Input Box appears.

4.	Type “*dog*” in the Entry Input Box.

5.	Make sure the Wildcards check box is selected.

6.	Click the check box to select the Full Text Index. The Full Text Input Box appears.

7.	Type “breed” in the Text Input Box.

8.	Click the Search button to execute the query.

The Results Window appears displaying matching Articles where the Main Index contains “dog” and the text of these entries contains the word “breed”.

Boolean operators

You can use the Boolean operators <AND>, <OR> and <NOT> in both the Detailed Search Window and in the Global Search Window. You can click the button provided for the desired operator to select and insert it or use the right mouse button pop-up shortcut menu.

While <AND> and <OR> act as joining operators, <NOT> is a negating operator. <AND> and <OR> can be used to search for several words together. With <OR>, the resulting set of Articles will be larger than for a single word. <AND>, however, restricts the resulting set of Articles compared to a single word. <NOT> can be useful when you know of possible occurrences of a term which you want to exclude from your search. The following table summarizes the operators available in AND CompLex 3.5:

Operator	Function
word1<AND>word2	Both word1 and word2 must be present in the Article
word1<OR>word2	Either word1 or word2 or both must be present in the Article
<NOT>word1	Article must not contain word1

The <AND> and <OR> operators can be combined any number of times and in any sequence. Note that AND CompLex 3.5 evaluates the search pattern from left to right. Note also that, unlike true Boolean logic,  the <AND> operator has no precedence of evaluation. The following examples illustrate these concepts.

Because AND CompLex 3.5 evaluates from left to right, the expression:

Christmas <AND> Dickens <OR> Santa Claus

will search for Articles containing the words “Christmas” and “Dickens”, plus Articles containing “Santa Claus”.

To find Articles that contain “Christmas” along with either “Dickens” or “Santa Claus”, your search expression must contain parentheses to specify the precedence of operators.


Parentheses

In AND CompLex 3.5, search patterns with Boolean operators are evaluated from left to right. In both the Global Search Window and the Detailed Search Window, you can add parentheses to change the normal evaluation precedence of the Boolean operators. For example, to locate Articles in which “Christmas” appears along with either “Dickens” or “Santa Claus”, you can insert parentheses to specify the precedence of the operators in the expression:

Christmas <AND> (Dickens <OR> Santa Claus)

Similarly, the expression:

(child <OR> children) <AND> (father <OR> mother)

searches Articles containing “child” or “children” along with either “father” or “mother”. Without the parentheses, this expression results in Articles containing “child”, plus Articles containing “children” along with “father”, plus Articles containing “mother”.

Using parentheses is also useful when searching Articles in which more than one specific word must not occur. For example:

child <AND> <NOT> (father <OR> mother)

searches Articles containing the word “child”, provided that in these Articles neither “father” nor “mother” occurs. In this case the parentheses are used to bind the operator combination <AND> <NOT> to more than one word.


Proximity Searching

Proximity searching allows you to search Articles for two words that fall in text within a specified distance from each other. Proximity Searching is available from both the Global Search Window or the Detailed Search Window. You enter your distance criteria for Proximity Searching expressed either as a number of characters or a number of words, depending on the specific Book.

Use the “#” character to express your distance criteria. You can select it from the right mouse menu.

Characters or words are counted from left to right starting with the space following the last letter of the first word up to and including the space before the first letter of the second word. A space counts as one character. AND CompLex 3.5 counts both forward and backward, so the words can be in any order in the search pattern.

Thus, CHILD #25 FATHER will find all Articles that contain the words “child” and “father” within a distance of 25 words or characters from each other either before or after. To find the phrase “Tree of Life” in a book in which proximity is expressed in characters, you could use the proximity expression “TREE #4 LIFE”.

Browsing through the Books

AND CompLex 3.5 offers various features to help you quickly find and organize information:

List Window

Local Find Window

History Window

Spike Window

Cross referencing


History Window

The History Window maintains a list of all the Articles displayed during your current AND CompLex 3.5 session. When you have selected to Save History to Disk from thePreference Dialog Window's History tab, the History Window will also list all Articles visited using AND CompLex 3.5 during earlier sessions. The History Window allows you to go back to previous Articles easily; for example, if you want to retrace your steps after browsing through a Book.

Open the History Window by clicking the History button on the Toolbar (see above) or by choosing History from the View menu.

You will find the Article you visited most recently at the top of the list. To view an Article in the Main Window, double click the corresponding entry in the History list. To select consecutive entries in the History Window, click and drag your mouse over the entries, or click the first entry you want to select, and holding down the Shift key click the last entry. To select entries not adjoining one another, hold down the Control key while clicking the entries. Selecting more than one Article is useful when you want a group of Articles to be either placed on the spike, printed or exported.

The History Window has a Toolbar. To see a description of the toolbar icons, hold your mouse stationary over one of the icons. The functions are (from left to right):

- The Show History button displays in the Main Window the Article corresponding to the highlighted entry while keeping the History Window on top.

- The Go to History button displays in the Main Window the Article corresponding to the highlighted entry and hides the History Window.

- The Put on Spike button adds the highlighted entry to the list in the Spike Window.

- The Print List or Selected Items button opens the Print History List Window where you select to either print the History list and/or the highlighted Articles from the History list.

- The Export Selected Items button opens the Save Export as Window where you can export the highlighted Articles in either Text (TXT), Hypertext (.HTML), or Rich Text Format (.RTF).

- The Help button brings up Help about the History Window. You can also press F1 when you need context-sensitive Help information about this window.


Spike Window

The Spike Window closely resembles the History Window. However, the History Window stores all Articles you visited using AND CompLex 3.5 while the Spike Window allows you to decide which Articles you want to record, so you can review them later.

Open the Spike Window by clicking the Spike Window button on the Toolbar (see above) or by choosing Spike from the View menu.

You will find the Article you recorded most recently at the top of the list. To view an Article in the Main Window, double click the corresponding entry in the Spike list. To select consecutive entries in the Spike Window, click and drag your mouse over the entries, or click the first entry you want to select, and holding down the Shift key click the last entry. To select entries not adjoining one another, hold down the Control key while clicking the entries. Selecting more than one Article is useful when you want a group of Articles to be either removed from the spike, printed or exported.

Like the Results and History Windows, the Spike Window has its own Toolbar, with the following functions (from left to right):

- The Show Spike button displays in the Main Window the Article corresponding to the highlighted entry while keeping the Spike Window on top.

- The Go to Spike button displays in the Main Window the Article corresponding to the highlighted entry and hides the Spike Window.

- The Remove Spike button removes the highlighted entry from the Spike Window.

- The Save Spike List button saves the current Spike as a Spike file (SPK) which you can recall for use at a later date.

- The Load Spike List button loads a previously saved Spike file (SPK).

- The Print List or Selected Items button opens the Print Spike List Window where you select to either print the Spike list and/or the highlighted Articles from the Spike list.

- The Export Selected Items button opens the Save Export as Window where you can export the highlighted Articles in either Text (.TXT), Hypertext (.HTML), or Rich Text Format (.RTF).

- The Help button brings up Help about the Spike Window. You can also press F1 when you need context-sensitive Help information about this window.


Local Find Window

The Local Find Window enables you to search for a specific word within the Article currently displayed in the Main Window.

You can either select a word or words in the Article before opening the Local Find Window, or open the window and then enter a search term. When you have selected words before opening the Local Find Window, the selected words are automatically loaded as the search term.

Open the Local Find Window by clicking the Local Find button on the Toolbar (see above) or by choosing Local Find... from the Article Menu, or Find from the right mouse menu.

Type the word you wish to find into the edit box and press Enter or click the Find Next button to locate the first occurrence in the Main Article Area. Repeat this to find succeeding occurrences, or use Previous Hit or Next Hit from the Article menu. Alternatively you can load words by highlighting them in the Main Article Window and clicking the Local Find button.

You can change the search direction using the Direction radio buttons.

The Find what box keeps a list of all entries made in your current session. To reselect an entry use the drop-down arrow.

If you have scrolled beyond the beginning of an Article, you can use the Wrap search check box to cause AND CompLex 3.5 to continue searching from your cursor position through the end of the Article, around to the beginning and back to your cursor position. Use the Search in whole Article check box to make your Local Find operate across Compound Articles and Articles with Sub Articles.

The Local Find Window will normally execute a case-insensitive search; that is, the search does not distinguish between uppercase letters and lowercase letters. If you enter “head”, AND CompLex 3.5 will find occurrences of both “head” and “Head”. However, when you select the Match case check box, searches become case-sensitive. Typing “head” will then result only in occurrences of “head”, while “Head” will be ignored.

By default, the Local Find Window will match only whole words, typing “and” will result in occurrences of the word “and” only. To search for words containing the string “and” (“hand”, “stand” and so forth), click the Match whole word only check box to clear the default selection.

Some of the above options may be disabled if not supported by a particular book.

Click the Help button or press F1 when you need context-sensitive Help about the Local Find Window.

Note:

Highlighting a word or words in the Article, and selecting Find Selection from either the Article menu or the right mouse menu, will automatically execute a case-insensitive search for the selected words. The search starts from the insertion point, and proceeds to the end of the Article. Find Selection operates the same as the Local Find Window, however, the search is only downwards from the insertion point, and you cannot select to match case or whole words.

When the installation is complete, a CompLex button will appear on the right side of the WordPerfect toolbar. Position your cursor on this button and the name of the macro will appear.

Once you have installed the appropriate macro, you can import text into AND CompLex 3.5 from your word processor or export text from AND CompLex 3.5 into your word processor.

Using the word-processor links

To import text into AND CompLex 3.5 from your word processor, you must have first run a session of AND CompLex 3.5 on your computer. This makes the CompLex button available in your word processing program. When the CompLex macro button is available, proceed as follows:

1.	Select a word in your active Word or WordPerfect document and click the CompLex button on your word processor toolbar.

2.	AND CompLex 3.5 will start up and show the selected text in the Input Box in the List Window. If this word occurs in the selected index of the active Book, the corresponding Article will appear directly in the Main Article Area or in the Results Window if there is more than one result.

To export text from AND CompLex 3.5 into your word processor, follow these steps:

1.	Execute your query or browse through the Books to find the appropriate text.

2.	Select this text.

3.	Choose Copy to application from the Edit menu or use the right mouse menu. AND CompLex 3.5 will copy the selected text to the current cursor position in your active Word or WordPerfect document.

Windows copy and paste function

AND CompLex 3.5 supports the standard Windows copy and paste function allowing you to copy Article text to the clipboard from where you can paste it into a range of Windows applications.
