-- Most of this is also on my wish list. Though I don't do very much
importing of data from an online source, I do have a habit of sometimes
forgetting that I read the same article and/or entered it into my EN
database a year ago (heck, sometimes I forget that I read the same article
two months ago... :-)). It would be very nice to be able to specify which
fields were matched in a "Find Duplicates." I suspect that the percent
correlation that Blubaugh wants might be tricky interface-wise. I'd settle
for the field-specific searching for matches.
