typical input line with the "Start search" button. Additionally, you get some
checkboxes to influence the search and a short help description.

Fig. 2 shows the hitlist after input of a search term. The entries are
sorted descending according to the identicallness between search term and the
found keywords. Each entry shows the <title> and the
<meta>-description plus all found keywords and a link to the
corresponding page resp. document (Office, PDF). The bold part of a keyword
shows the matching.

Templates
The Webetiser tools allow to choose from different templates that differ
in presentation and functionality. Fig. 3 shows a MindM template hitlist. In
comparison to the standard template the hitlist is separated into blocks of 7
entries. You can use the arrows to jump between the blocks.

behavior of the Windows HTMLHelp context-sensitive help system - but it can be
used cross-platform.
