• speed - these software packages are optimised for searching large databases on CD-ROM;
• ease of use - just enter the information you are looking for, or choose from a list of all the values in the database;
• fielded database searches - you don't need to memorise the names of the fields in the database;
• advanced searches can be undertaken using Boolean or proximity searching;
• a list of all entries or words in a field can be viewed and selected into the search screen;
• truncation searches: ie Hall* retrieves Halls, Halloran, Haller etc;
• reverse truncation searches: ie *Donnell retrieves Donnell, O'Donnell, MacDonnell etc;
• wild card searches: ie Je*cott retrieves Jephcott, Jefcott and Jeffcott (great for finding those spelling mistakes!);
• 'like' (phonetic) searches: ie 'like' Myer locates Mier, Meyer etc;
• results can be viewed in list or single record formats;
• in list format the data can be sorted by any field;
