Wordzilla:
Here's an idea, there is so much in mobysaurus, it's easy to get overwhelmed.  Maybe some kind of "simplified use mode" would be an option? just a thought.

Yes, of course. I'll thinking about it, to be user-friendly is essential.

Another thought, don't know if it's possible.  Instead of radio boxes for selecting different "dictionaries" maybe it would be possible to use checkboxes, and then show all results from activated dictionaries with a nice big divider line betweent them..  might make it easier to just search and say i don't care where the results come from just show me all.  dont know if this is feasible though for incremental search results box..

Since Moby's a big thesaurus, in most cases users have to scroll down to view all results. I always fear that "too many" confuses people and scare them away. Like in "any occurrence" mode, whenever results are getting overwhelming, the search stops, allowing users to review current results carefully and resume the search after that.

I think "tabbed browsing" is more feasible than "divider lines" but it requires much more complex coding. Anyway, worth a try.


The incremental search uses respective word lists for each search mode. :)


P.S.

The RichTextBox component is still (very) limited in VS.net 2003 (which I'm using), many more features will be available as soon as I get VS.net 2005 installed.  8)

Hello mobysaurus,

I appreciate your work on Mobysaurus.
Is it possible to create a one size fit it all resolution package?
