iVerbum is an index and search program that allows textual databases to be indexed and searched. 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 user to copy 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.
