Using The Free Text Search, Using The Case Search, Using The Image Search, Searching Using The Skeleton, Search Options
Clicking on the 'Search' button (to be found in the navigation bar to the left of this screen)will open up a separate window that looks similar to the one below (which shows the 'Free Text Search' window). This window allows you to access all three search tools ('Free Text Search', 'Case Search' and 'Image Search') and 'Options' a window that will allow you to refine your search criteria. The Skeleton is displayed to localise your search anatomically.
1. The Navigation Bar is to be found at the top of the screen. Clicking on any of the buttons at the top will allow you to quickly change from one search tool to another
1. 'Free Text Search' opens up the free text search engine. This is the default search tool, and as such is the one that opens up when you click on the 'search' button (For more information on how to use the free text search click here)
2. 'Case Search' opens up a slighty more complex search engine, where you use pull down menus to define your search criteria. (For more information on the case search click here)
3. 'Image Search' allows you to search the databse for individual images, like the case search option it uses pull down menus which you use to define your search criteria. (For more information on the image search click here)
4. 'Options' allows you to refine your search to only search for a particular case, image or to refine the number of results returned per search. This is compatible with all of the search tools. (For more information on the search options click here)
5. 'Help' opens up the Site Guide, so if at any point you are having difficulty using any of the search tools then click on this button. You can also access these help pages by using the 'Site Guide' button in the navigation bar to the left.
2.The results for your search will allways appear in this mauve area. Only 12 results will be displayed at any one time, but you are able to navigate through all of the results. Please bear in mind that the more results that are found for your search will affect the time it takes for the results to be displayed. (For more information on the results screen click here)
3 This area will allways be where you find the search tools, This is the only part of the screen that will change, but the layout will allways remain consistant
