the F6 key or by selecting "One" from the toolbar. The dialog box you
see will allow you to type in text to search for and the field that you want
to be searched. As with the Search All Dialog, you can type in two
strings and select either "AND" or "OR" logic. The final four option
buttons allow you to search for all the records that are marked for adding
to the bibliography, all the records that are not marked for the
bibliography, all the records that are marked for export and all the
records that are not marked for export. The case sensitive check box
functions identically to the one on the Search All dialog box. You can
also specify to the program to report all the records that do NOT contain
the text that you have typed. By choosing the check box marked "Find
Records that Do Not Match Search" you can enable this type of
searching. The "AND" and "OR" options function identically with the Not
searching as they do with the normal searching. For example searching
for "Smith" OR "John" would report any records that contained one of
those two strings. After selecting the option to find records that do not
match your search, BioBase will report matches for records that contain
neither "Smith" nor "John".
Search Multiple Fields
The final search allows you to search several different fields for
different text. "Search Multiple Fields" is selected with the F7 key, "Mult"
on the toolbar or from the Search Menu. The dialog box displayed after
selecting this choice allows you to put a check mark by each field to mark
which ones you wish to search. The text boxes next to them allow you to
type the text to try and find. If the check box next to a field is not
selected, then the text that is in its search text is ignored. You may elect
to use an "AND" search, which only reports matches for records that
contain all the text you specify or you may use an "OR" search, that
counts a record that matches any of the text you typed as a match. The
case sensitive check box functions identically to the same box on the
other two search dialog boxes. The check box labeled "Find Records that
Do Not Match Search" functions identically to the same check box on the
Search One Field dialog box.
Search Editor
Each of the three search types allow you to invoke the "Search
Editor" by clicking on the button on the bottom of the search screen. The
search editor allows you to specify any actions that you would like the
program to perform on the records that match your search criteria. There
are 6 different actions that the program can perform on your matching
records:
