The fourth button in the navigation bar on the search engine window is 'Options'. There are two aspects to this, on the left (in the box name 'Search words against') are search criteria that apply only to the CASE and IMAGE searches. On the right are criteria that allow variation in display, these will function with all 3 types of searches.
Search Words Against:
Case Descriptions: Selecting this box will search the text in the description of the case
Case Name: each case has a unique name, usually a three digit number containing a decimal point after the first digit. This is to be found at the top of the case viewer screen. Recording the case names of those cases of particular interest to you and entering in the number in the free text search will allow you to gain quick access to specific cases
Case teaching points: Selecting this box will search the text in the teaching point pertaining to the case
Case Diagnosis: Selecting this box will search the text in the diagnosis for the case
Session Description/Teaching Points: Images are also organised by session within the database, selecting these boxes will search the textual information within these
Image Description/Teaching Points: Selecting these buttons will search the information stored on each individual image as opposed to the cases to which they belong
Show one result per case only:
