iVerbum
-
Version
1.0
Powerful index and search program that allows massive
textual databases to be indexed quickly and searched
nearly instantaneously. RTF, RTFD data is loaded in a
File Tree. Any combination of folders can be indexed
and searched. For each search, iVerbum creates a table
(which may be as large as thousands of finds) which
consists of sample strings of the text surrounding
each search. Each file containing a find is marked in
the File Tree. Selecting that file will then scroll
the table of Sample Finds to the specified file which
then shows a listing of the sample finds. Double-
clicking a given sample find will load the pertinent
file in the Text Pane and scroll the text to the given
search which is highlighted. iVerbum facilitates
multiple copying for paper or thesis preparation by
enabling the using tocopy or add selected data to one
of four memory buffers. This data can then be pasted
onto the Text Pane at the insertion point either in
RTF format or in plain text so as to make the style
identical to the paragraph in which it is inserted.
iVerbum has a separate window to enable the user to
create any number of Index Sets which the user can
arbitrarily name. Each Index Set is composed of any
number of Root Folders which should be folders
composed of RTF, RTFD files. Upon loading the folders,
iVerbum creates a plain text file for each RTF, RTFD
file. Although effectively transparent to the user,
these files provide the indexing and search
information such that the rich text formatting and
inclusion of pictures does not interfere with accurate
indexing. DOC and HTML (tables are loaded as pictures
however) may also be imported OS X.3 and OS X.4.
iVerbum contains many convenience features for rapid
acquisition of data and production of notes and
research. The RTF, RTFD data can then be easily
imported to a word processor for more precise
formatting if necessary. iVerbum also permits drag and
drop for files or folders and marks indexes that are
outdated.
