5. Toolbars and Menus
5.1 Toolbars
The upper toolbar is mostly self-explaining, I hope.
The two arrows allow you to jump back to the previous results, just
like the back/forward arrows of a web browser.
In the second row you find the input line where can enter the word/phrase
you want to search for (the input line remembers your past entrys, so instead of
typing, you can browse through the drop-down-list and choose the approviate item.)
Next is the database selector and two buttons. The "Define"-button will start
a define-query, the "Match"-button will start a match-query.
