20OCCURRENCE      ARB_NT/Species/search
21                ARB_NT/<species button: 4th broad rectangular button in
22                top area>
23
24DESCRIPTION     Searches for a (set of) species (not SAIs)
25                that match (don't match) a query or are marked.
26
27                The database is scanned for 'species' (see 'HELP')
28                which contain (or do not contain) the search string within the
29                specified 'field' (see LINK{glossary.hlp}). The corresponding
30                species and the respective 'field' entries are listed in the
31                'HIT LIST' subwindow. The number of hits is displayed after the
32                'Hits:' prompt.
33
34                Define whether matching or non-matching species should be
35                        listed by pressing the appropriate combination of left
36                        and right buttons in the top area. When performing
37                        multiple searches, define whether the list of 'species'
38                        should be replaced by the new results, and whether newly
39                        found 'species' should be removed from or appended
40                        to the existing list.
41
42                Select a 'field' from the 'Search Field' subwindow.
43
44                Type the search string in the 'Search string' subwindow.
45
46                Press the <SEARCH> button.

68
69                        Select:                    Search all species that are marked
70                        Press:                     'SEARCH'
71                        Select:                    Keep species that match the query

74                        Press:                     'SEARCH' again
75
76
77WARNINGS        If the hitlist becomes too long, it will be truncated.
78                Nevertheless all operations work on non-truncated hitlist!
79
80                Changing the sort order will most likely show different items, because the
81                list gets truncated after it was sorted.
