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.
The numbering and the content are the same as the full version of the evaluation grid.

7 Search
7.1 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)
Bookends
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")
7.2 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
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
