Searching Software
	Finding the article you want is as easy as just typing the few words that you think best characterize the article. Knowledge Finder's unique fuzzy logic searching uses precise mathematical analysis to judge how closely each article appears to match your search query.
	Search results are presented in order of likely relevance, showing you the closest matches first, and saving you time reviewing search results. For precise searching, just click a button to activate Knowledge Finder's Boolean Search mode. With the traditional Boolean operators, nested parenthesization and truncation, you can fine tune your search to identify the specific article for which you're looking.
	Table-of-Contents browsing lets you quickly view all of the articles in a particular issue. The hierarchical browser also lets you open multiple Contents windows, so you can see the contents of several issues simultaneously.

Article Display

Full-text articles are displayed on your computer screen showing all of the text, symbols and equations contained in the original print article. References to figures, tables and citations in the text are "hot-linked", so that you just click on the reference in the text to see the corresponding item. Flexible window re-sizing lets you organize your screen to suit your needs. Article text, optionally including figures and tables, can be printed.

Thumbnails
	Whenever you open an article, Knowledge Finder presents simultaneously and quickly a window with overview thumbnail images of all of the figures and tables in the article. This gives you an "image table-of-contents" for the article, and helps you find an image by pattern recognition, rather than just by words. Click once on any image, and the full figure or table appears almost instantaneously.

Figures and Tables

Every figure and table from the print publication is included on the CD-ROM. You can view color and gray scale halftones at their standard size, and at double resolution for enhanced image clarity. Ergonomically-designed image scrolling and panning makes viewing of large images convenient. Line drawings, graphs, charts and tables are displayed in independent windows, and can also be displayed at double resolution.

Linked Abstracts
All bibliographic references in the articles have been matched against the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE® database. Where available, the MEDLINE abstract and record have been incorporated into the full-text CD-ROM database. An indicator in the on-screen References window tells you the abstract is available for immediate viewing.
