Nisus InfoClick - Manual (Page 6)

The Quickest Start
Using InfoClick with Nisus Writer Pro and Nisus Writer Express
The Services menu in Nisus Writer Pro and Nisus Writer Express includes the command: New
InfoClick Note With Text. You can choose this to have a text selection in Nisus Writer Pro or
Express create an InfoClick note. You can learn more about the patented technology that underlies
InfoClick in “Appendix III a short history of InfoClick” on page 53.
Searches
Once the initial indexing is complete, you will see InfoClick’s window illustrated in Figure 2:

The InfoClick window in Normal Search
Here you can enter various search criteria (called “selectors”) to find emails. As you type in the
search fields, InfoClick automatically shows you only those selectors which are available (e.g.: the
terms that are actually used in your emails). This both ensures a successful find and lets you
explore the content of your emails.
Searching is a process of narrowing down the results: you start with one criterion (e.g.: From Bill),
and then add additional criteria (e.g.: Subject contains “bread”) to further winnow the matches.
Because InfoClick knows exactly what selectors are available at every junction, your search can
never produce zero matches. For a full description of every search field see “Normal Search groups”
beginning on page 8.
• All searches are case independent.
• To search for any text in any part of an email or note… use the Text field.
• InfoClick lists display all words and phrases in emails… start typing or click twice in any text
entry region to cause the list to display.
• As you type, InfoClick shortens the list of words or phrases to display only those that will offer a
match.
• The list of selectors contains only enough items to fit into the display window plus a little more,
but you can scroll through the list.
• Use the Alternatives feature for choosing to search on any of differently spelled words (press
A or click the checkbox). This is explained in greater detail on page 29.
