Everybody knows that REAL database searchers don't need documentation.
Documentation is for wooses.

Now that we've got that perfectly clear, you will find "how to operate"
instructions conveniently accessible and IN YOUR FACE when you go to the
searcher/sorter window. If you like the instructions feel free to shower me
with adulation. If you don't like the instructions, complain to Cole.

By the way, Cole was by no means the first one to be perplexed by the
cryptic user interface, just the first one to complain publicly. What a
nerve!

Cheers, Oberdan.
