A Bit More About Our Frog

This test drive is slower and does not include any of the NoteFrog™ program features, menus, and options that make the NoteFrog™ Personal Information Management System so powerful and oh so easy to use. It does demonstrate some of the basic search capabilities, but you can have a free edition of the NoteFrog program that is indeed completely free and never expires. You can read all about the Frog and its many features and download the program at the website.

A couple of interesting features to mention here:

- Clickable links. Any Internet links or bookmarks contained in the body of your notes are clickable and will open that page in your browser. This makes collecting, organizing, and accessing web bookmarks and reference material easier than you ever dreamed possible.
- Windows Clipboard Integration, including Automatic Clipboard Capture. Tight clipboard integration makes Web-browsing or email collection of stacks of information amazingly effficient.

- Note "Tagging"This is buit in feature as part of the NoteFrog™ Supersearch technique. Let's just say that it can turn a single Stack of notes into a Tree Structure on steroids. If you think along tree-structure lines , you are going to be blown away.

Search Controls

The Search Control Area at the top left is the NoteFrog™ heart and soul and provides the instant search result interface.

Simple Searches

Type your search string into the top box.

As you type, the count shown in the small box will update to show the total number of notes which match your search criteria.

If you make a typing error just backspace.

As you type, the Item List Window at the bottom left will be updating to include only those notes which match your search, and the body of the top note from that ever-decreasing list will be displayed in the Item Window at the right.

Once your notes have decreased to a reasonable number, you can identify your note and select it for display in the large window.

Clearing the Search

You may clear the search and return to the entire stack of notes at any time by clicking on the "Refresh" button.

Compound Searches

Cumulative "AND" searching is intuitively available by simply hitting the [Return] key after typing each term of a compound search. The compound terms will be moved to the box directly below the search input box and displayed with each term of the compound search followed by a block symbol.

For example, to search for the string:
Tom, Dick and Harry
you would enter
tom, dick and harry
into the search box which would return only the notes containing that exact character-for-character match. However to find all notes that contain all three names you would enter
tom [return]
dick[return]
harry
which would find all notes that contain those three names.

Case sensitive searches

Normally you will conduct most searches as case insensitive, largely because the speed of the NoteFrog™ search makes doing case sensitive searches unnecessary. However, case-sensitive search is an option. In case-sensitive mode notes must contain character string that exactly match the upper/lower case that you type into the search string. For example, an a does not match an A, and an A does not match an a. In case-insensitive searches, the case of both the input and the matching string are irrelevant, only the letter itself matters.

To illustrate, in the normal case-insensitive search, typing the the string
Tom
would find all notes containing the words
Tom, atom,Tomato and stomp.

If you specifically wanted to find notes about your friend Tom, then you could set the case sensitive box and that same search Tom would now return only
Tom and Tomato.

To get even more refined you could type a space after the Tom.
That would have found only notes with Tom and a space following,
and thus not the note containing Tomato.
