Order of Search

Pathagoras has a definite 'order of search' pattern of which you must be aware to maximize efficiency in clause naming and 'pointing.'

•	If the term is 'fully qualified,' Pathagoras will look in the designated location and no further. ('Fully qualified' means that the document is pointed to by drive, folder, subfolders(s) and name. E.g., "c:\office forms\estate planning\trusts\living trust clauses\rlt134.doc".)

•	If Pathagoras sees only a term name, it will determine if the term name meets the prefix/suffix naming criteria (two to four letters followed by three or four numbers). If it does, it will look in the book associated with the prefix in the Prefix Table.

•	If not found in the above locations, or if the term is not a prefixed name, Pathagoras will look in the Position #1 book (The 'Position 1' book is the book that occupies the first bookshelf in the Current Library.)

•	If not yet found, Pathagoras will look in the SuperFolder (if designated).

•	If still not found, Pathagoras will look in the SuperGlossary (if designated).

(You can tell Pathagoras to look in a SuperBook before the Position #1 Book. Check the box found in Utilities/Settings|File Locations labeled "Check SuperBooks" first.)

•	If still not found, Pathagoras will look for the term in your Auto-Correct dictionary.

•	If still not found, Pathagoras will look in the first 15 glossaries that you may have stored in your SuperFolder. (This last search presumes that you have not earlier looked in these glossaries via the prefix search.)

To avoid redundant searches in glossaries (and to speed up the search process), do not store in your SuperFolder: (1) your SuperGlossary or (2) any glossary which you have associated with a prefix.
