We have been thinking about this, and I will add your suggestion to the list. Other users: can you visualize how this would work? How could we design it so that it works for everyone in every field. Let's be creative! I'm not promising we'll use any ideas, especially in the next version, but it's an interesting thought. Avi Rappoport Niles & Associates, Inc.

Dear Avi
I think also thesaurus function would be a good add-on
to Endnote.
You ask how this could work. I think this hierarchical thesaurus
could consist in a tree like structure, or even in a set of trees. Every
tree is in fact a shortcut for a search specification, e.g. every
edge stands for an OR.
Using the example from Ejan Mackaay:
animals
^-------- mammals
^--------- cats
^--------- dogs
Specifing 'animals' as search string, this would be expanded to
'animals OR mammals OR cats OR dogs'
Specifing 'mammals', this would be expanded to
'mammals OR cats OR dogs '
Every keyword specified in a search would be checked against the
defined tree. If there is a node labeled with this keyword, the
keyword is expanded to match its subtree.
Perhaps a simple mechanisme may be forseen to switch the checking
procedure on, e.g. by preceding a keyword by @. Example:
'@animals' would be expanded to
'animals OR mammals OR cats OR dogs'
'animals' would not be expanded

Please excuse me if this has already been suggested: It would be useful if after a search, EndNote would highlight the matching words when reading through the search results. Marcelino Bernardo /* All views expressed are mine and does */ mbernar@erenj.com /* not necessarily reflect Exxon's. */
