Standard Search 	

    Standard Search allows you to use a word, phrase, or larger
    increments of text as search terms.  If Standard Search is not
    your current Search Mode and you are working with a database
    that allows for switching among alternative Search Modes, click
    on the Search Pulldown Menu option, move your mouse pointer to
    the Standard Search Mode, and click.  

    NOTE:  As you move from one mode to another, Windows Personal
    Librarian recalls the default settings for the newly selected
    mode.  Default settings include which window options are being
    shown, the sizes and positions of the windows, and the font
    styles and sizes for the text within each window.  

    To use Standard Search, move your mouse pointer to the Search
    Window Text Entry Area within the Search Window and click to
    activate this window.  The Search Window Text Entry Area is
    active when a flashing Text Position Indicator appears.  

    Once the Search Window Text Entry Area is active, you can enter
    text and/or numbers along with various Boolean or other
    operators.  When you have completed entering your search terms,
    you activate a search by pressing the ENTER key or by moving
    your mouse pointer to the Search Button in the Search Window and
    clicking.  This action will initiate your search.  (See Search
    Operators in this Help system)

    The Document Window displays the documents retrieved by a
    Search, one document at a time, and the document displayed first
    is always the document ranked first according to the Probable
    Relevance Ranking option (if Probable Relevance Ranking is
    activated).  You may browse through the set of retrieved
    documents by using the Browse options.  You may also browse
    documents not retrieved by the particular search but located in
    close proximity to retrieved documents.  (See Browse 1 and 2 in
    this Help system)

    The results of a search will appear in the Document Window, 
    which occupies all but the top portion of the screen.  Other
    windows, such as the Search Window, the Lights Toolbox Menu, the
    Bar Chart Window, and the List Window will appear on top of the
    Document Window if they are active.
