ThinkTank Manual

Searching for a Keyword

Suppose you want to find information on salaries in the PERSONNEL RECORDS outline. Collapse PRODUCT PLAN, move the bar cursor to PERSONNEL RECORDS, and type “KS” for KEYWORD/SEARCH. When ThinkTank prompts you for a search pattern, type:

salary

and press RETURN. Watch the screen (Figure 4—4) as ThinkTank finds the pattern, expands the outline to show you its location, highlights it, and asks whether you want to continue the search. Press Y (for YES) and ThinkTank repeats the process. When you finally answer N (for NO) to discontinue, ThinkTank returns you to Top Level with the bar cursor on the headline where the last match was found. Details on keyword searches are covered in the reference guide, and Chapter 5 includes notes and suggestions to make best use of them.
