- Re: Orbis problems
-
- (1) NOT in Orbis is simply NOT. On the other hand, AND is
- no longer needed. Thus:
-
- takala not itamar not even not zohar will search 'takala' only.
-
- takala itamar even zohar will search all.
-
- I've not tried
-
- takala not (itamar even zohar) -- that one would be best
-
- However, if you use
-
- takala not itamar even zohar
-
- Orbis will treat only the first element after NOT as excepted.
-
-
- (2) Retrieval. I know you can define and go to Alternative window.
- But this causes troubles when I return... In view of the existence
- of such elements as 'save search' etc., I presume that the final
- release would have a special option for saving the searched items.
