| How to Search |
| In the search section you have to complete
the three or more options.
|
|
| The first option is the 'Search Text'. Enter words,
separated by a space or a comma.
|
| |
| The next option is the 'Search Type'. The search can search where any
word is matched or where only all words must match. The 'Match All
Words' is more restrictive and will yield less results, but, it is
usually more relevant to your search. The 'Match Any Words' will yield
more results but may require you to look at more search results to find
the item you want. |
| |
| The next option is the 'Search Area'. Most searches can search the
title, description, and keywords of the items in the database. If you
are searching for pages (educational content, calculator section, etc)
then you have an option of searching all of the text on a page. The
'Whole Page' option will slow the search process down but will yield a
more reliable result. We suggest you use the default selections but
you can change them if you wish. |
| |
| Some search areas will have an option to choose what section or
subsection you wish to search. For example, you can currently only
search for Transesophageal videos and images. When we add
Transthoracic and Regional Anesthesia images and videos, you can select
to search those areas instead. |
| |
| The last option is the 'Number of Rows' you want to display. Simply indicate the number of rows that you want on each page. |
| |
| Once you have filled out the options, just click the 'Search' button
and your search will commence. If an error occurs, you will be
referred back to the search page and the error is displayed at the top
of the screen in red letters. Most errors are automatically emailed to
the webmaster. |
| |
| The search may take some time, depending on what you wish to search for
and the number of sections, and the search type. A list of pages will
appear. To view the item, click on the link. Some pages may not be
available if you are not a subscriber. For items that can be
downloaded, you must have download privileges to download most items.
Some download items are free and are indicated with a 'Free!' text.
Items that do not have an active link cannot be downloaded. |

Searching the Atlas
|
Searching the Atlas is can be done by:
|
- Searching for Text or Words
- Searching by Category
- Searching for Recent Additions
|
| |
| The Searching by Text or Words tries to match the words in the search
areas (title, description, keywords). A search algorithm calculates a
score where the most words are matched most often in the search areas.
For example, if you search for aortic, a video with the word aortic
repeated many times will score higher than a video where the word
aortic only appears once, yet both will have a 100% word match. The
videos are sorted by the match algorithm score. |
| |
On the search results page you are presented with information about
each match. The score, word match percentage, a link, the video title,
description, keywords, and a series of icons in the download line. To
view a video, click on the link with the title in it and the video will
appear. You can change the format, size, etc using the links below the
video or the page links at the top of the page. The links at the top
of the page changes all of the video formats.
|
| |
| A bug that we are working on occurs when you increase the size of the
video so that it overlaps content below the video. Some of the video
elements may not be active. Just click on the title link two times
(one to close , one to open) and everything will return to normal. |
| |
| To download a video just click on the icon format that you want and downloading will commence ASAP. |
| |
| Videos can be used for personal use only (i.e. lectures) but not for
commercial products. If you want to make a commercial product please
purchase a license. |
| |
Searching by Category simply presents you with a list of drop down boxes that you can select to view the videos in that category. Please select them from left to right. Some categories have a lot of videos, others only a few or none at all. This search section allows you to quickly find a series of videos that you may look at to find the 'best one' for your lecture.
