The overstriked grid's items have not been taken into account for the purposes of this shorter evaluation: it does not imply at all that the package cannot perform the relevant function.

Search
1 Different levels and approaches:     1. easy / expert    2. menu/command driven    3. browsing term lists/indexes directly pointing to records    4. query expressions    5. browsing record list(s)
Biblioscape	Bookends
1. easy and expert; 2; 3; 4; 5. Many different approaches for Bibliographic Database (i.e. References Module) Notes and Tasks Modules have got their own search methods (see below). Browsing the database in the brief record list: one record per line, as many field-columns as desired (7 by default, can add more); sort on top of column bar, descending sort only if secondary index available: can customize) Lookup search on 56 fields: select a field, entries (sortable) in term list show number of related documents (sortable) and point to them; Dynamic blue folder: one or more SQL (13 operators) query statements are permanently stored in a folder to form one SQL query: each statement is single field based; statements ar connected via boolean and, or, but it follows its own criteria: you write something like (A or B) and (C or D), it changes in A or B or (C and D) ... Quick search saved queries: field and the seeked value (no boolean operators) Indexed search it includes 3 submodules (+ 2 sub-sub), none can be saved as query expression: Fast (no boolean, no field selection); Smart pseudo-natural language queries or SQL (abbreviated or full), up to this extent: select bib.*, folder.*, fld_bib.* from bib, folder, fld_bib where (folder.Folder<>'Boronic Acid') and (fld_bib.Folder_ID=Folder.Folder_ID) and (bib.Ref_ID=fld_bib.Ref_ID). Here you can use the full power of SQL; Indexed: can use jolly characters (? *), boolean, soundex, near, parentheses: (A or B) and (C or D) it is possible here, but cannot save query expressions and the function is not assisted; Indexed is the only non-SQL searching mode within Biblioscape, it indexes every word in any record, no field delimited Advanced SQL query builder, statements are connected only by boolean AND, can be saved  BiblioSQL: SQL queries tool, not driven: must be familiar with SQL; queries can be saved; Find: sequential search on any or one selected field Navigation through links established by users among bib. references, and references and Notes; also an automatic ring navigation through authors, keywords, journal titles: e.g. click on an author name and it will show all record in the database containing the same name Searching a Biblioscape database on the Internet via www interface see Internet and Other features   Notes Module: Navigating through the Notes folders tree Fast search: enter a string, full-text searching: can use jolly characters (? *), boolean, soundex, near, phrases, parentheses: searching for (A or B) and (C or D) is possible here, but cannot save query expressions; nor can search notes and bib. records at the same time Advanced search: field based (truncation available) Tasks Module: Search: field based (truncation available)	Bookends: 1 easy + expert, a) by means of one preformatted window with templates for : only one field selection plus record type, scope (database, retrieved records), mode (any text, whole words, right truncation); boolean operators; up to 10 query terms; No query expressions, no crossing of different fields: something like: "keywords = water pollution AND date = 1999" it is not possible, either you specify one field (+ RT) which will apply to all -up to 10- query terms or you do not restrict the search to a single field but do a search on all/any fields up to 10 query terms b) browsing is possible either by selecting 'Show all references' or by using the 4 term lists: each of them will display the brief list of records connected to any entry of the selected list 3, 5; 2, 4 : SQL/Regex (regular expressions) structured (on unindexed fields + indexed "any-field")
2 Browsing indexes to search     1. entries show number of related docs     2. relationships (e.g. x-refs) between entries are displayed     3. direct selection of index terms and display of related documents
Biblioscape: 1 (can sort A/D on lookup list entry or count number of related documents); 3 2 relationship between records are indicated by an icon in the preview pane of the brief record list display	Bookends: 1 3; the 4 built-in indexes/term lists and any other field based term list can be browsed to display the connected records in two situations: a) "Utilities" --> Term lists; b) when --> a full reference is displayed, --> the relevant term list button is pressed --> the brief view of records connected to that entry is activated; in both cases can swiftly switch list
