I am posting below a personal message sent to me by Christian Dˆhm of Sycon re how IDEA! compares to Biblioscape as I think that it provides some intersting info.

alx

Biblioscape has a lot of features IDEA! also has. Most of the things it does, IDEA! does as well.

It has some other features like drawing capability and diagramms etc but misses the Outlook and Lotus Notes intergration.

We also have the option to work remotely and the replication. We can even work offline with our database and replicate later. In a WAN, LAN, Home office or via the internet. The struture is very similar.
One thing I like more about IDEA! then in Biblioscape is that we mangaged to handle all these features in one screen with good overview.

The system uses the same index machine like IDEA! does.

Quote from Biblioscape website: “Biblioscape provides several means for the user to find references. The super-fast search engine indexes every word in your database and can find what you want instantly. Even if your reference collection grows to 50,000 records, it can still return a complicated search result in seconds. In the search string you can use logical operators AND, OR, NOT, the wild card * for multiple letters, the wild card ? for a single letter, the keyword LIKE to find words that sound similar, the keyword “NEAR” to find
words that appear close to each other, or search for a phrase by putting it inside double quotes.”

The following is true for IDEA! (just replaced Biblioscape with IDEA!) - that’s exactly what the internal indexer does. IDEA! provides several means for the user to find references. The super-fast search engine indexes every word in your database and can find what you want
instantly. Even if your reference collection grows to 50,000 records, it can still return a complicated search result in seconds.

In the search string you can use logical operators AND, OR, NOT, the wild card * for multiple letters, the wild card ? for a single letter, the keyword LIKE to find words that sound similar, the keyword “NEAR” to find words that appear close to each other, or search for a phrase by putting it inside double quotes.
