Once login, users will see the main User Interface: Research Tab and Process Tab.

A) Search Criteria

At the top-left area, users can input the search criteria, including Keyword, Max # of Returned Results, different Sort Methods, and Data Source.

There are two syntax format for the keyword/phase:

1. Exact Search: Input the keyword/phase in the box (without any '+' symbol). For example, if the input phase is bamboo flooring, then it will search bamboo flooring as a whole word. 

2. Exact + Search: Input different keywords/phases which are connected by symbol '+'. For example, if the input is bamboo + flooring, then it will search results with bamboo AND flooring in it. 

The Sort Method can be "Time Added", "Sentence" or "None". Fresh content is added to the online database everyday, thus, using "Time Added" could get more fresh results and using "Sentence" could get more results based on the content itself.

Users can select Data Source: Online Database or Local Database.

The online database includes about 72,000 articles (2007/08/26). Fresh articles are being added to the database everyday. Currently, there are about 300-800 articles are added to the database everyday. Soon, this number will be increased.

Except online database, users can import articles to local database which is saved on users' PC and is not shared by anyone else. Please check below for more details about how to import articles.

Using different criteria, the search results will be different. Each search criteria is saved in the bottom-left table. When users select the saved search (in the table), the search criteria will be reloaded.

If users are not sure whether the input keyword is good, then click the "Lightning Icon", it will show some related keywords from WordTracker, including the keywords and the # of daily searches. Right Click mouse on the webpage, it will popup a menu in which users can Navigate back/forward in the Browser Tab. 

Once set the search criteria, users can click 'Start Retrieve' button to start the search. In Search Table, both the searched keywords and related keywords are shown with the # of search from WordTracker. If users want to search the related keywords, then has to Start Retrieve with the related keyword. Click the keyword in search table, the search criteria and results will be reloaded.  Right-Click Mouse on search table, users can Delete Search. 

 

B) Search Results

The search results are shown at the top-right table (Sentence Table), including the Relevance Score which shows the relevance between the sentence and the keyword. The higher the score, the more relevant the sentences are related to the keyword. Click the column title, users can sort the results .

Double-Click Mouse on the Sentence directly, the sentence will be added to the Content Editor Box directly.

Right-Click Mouse on the Sentence Table, it will popup a menu. Users can insert the Checked or Selected Sentences into the Content Editor Box (right-bottom area), either Directly or as Macro (will be explained later). If users select to insert sentences directly, then can choose insert multiple sentences as individual sentences or a paragraph (dropdown list at the top of the popup menu).

Note that, Checked sentence means the checkbox in front of the sentence is checked. Selected sentence means the sentence is highlighted.

Users can edit their article in this box. Sentences inserted from the Sentence Table will be inserted in this editor box at where the cursor is, either directly or as Macro. The border of Content Editor Box can be changed by Press Left Button on the border and move the Mouse.

 

C.1) Macro

Macro is like a variable, which can be used to generate different versions of the content. The syntax is: {{{Value1|Value2|Value3…}}}.

Value1, Value2, Value3 are the texts that will be rotated. They could be a word, a sentence, a paragraph, or a block of text (more than a paragraph). The Macro can be embedded in other Macros. Literally, the number of Values that can be used in Macro is unlimited.

One detailed example of Macro.

The original text is: “The weather is nice. I really like the weather in this sunny valley”. We can use Macro in the original text. For example, we can use:

{{{The weather is nice|It is a {{{sunny|nice}}} day}}}, I really {{{like|love}}} the weather in this {{{sunny|}}} {{{valley|area}}}.

Then, the generated content could be:

1) It is a sunny day, I really love the weather in this valley.

2) The weather is nice, I really like the weather in this sunny area.

3) It is a nice day, I really like the weather in this sunny valley.

Note that,

  • {{{sunny|nice}}} is a Macro that is embedded in another Macro;
  • The above example can generate many different unique sentences;

In the screen shot at above, there are several Macros shown in the Content Editor Box. 

 

C.2) Synonyms and PopUp Menu

Right-Click Mouse on Content Editor Box, it will show more text related options:

  • Right-click mouse, the synonyms of the clicked word are shown in a new popup window. The below screen shot shows an example. The clicked word is 'best', and its synonyms are shown at the left side of the popup menu. If the synonym is selected, the synonym will be used to build the Synonyms Macro which is shown at the top-right side of the popup window. *** Users can manually input text in tghe Synonyms Macro box directly. The Synonyms Macro will be used to generate unique content. At the bottom-right side of the popup window, it shows the snippet of the content. Note that, depends on the synonyms database used, the results of the synonyms could be different.

  • If there is no word clicked, below menu will be poped up. Users can redo/undo the change, paste the text, or highlight all the words that have synonyms in the database. Note that, it may take some time to highlight all the words that have synonyms in the database. However, it makes users know which words can be replaced by synonyms. The words that have synonyms will be shown in Green color.

 

C.3) Spell Checker

Depends on the setting users select (in 'Options'), users can do Spell Check using default spell checker or the spell checker with Microsoft WORD (Microsoft Word is installed).

Below it is the screen shot of the default Spell Checker.

Below it is the Spell Checker with Microsoft Word.

 

C.3) Insert Macro

Insert Macro button provides a quick way to insert Macro manually. For example, in Content Editor Box, select the word 'projects', then click Insert Macro button, it will pop a window:

Note that, all the other words, i.e. assignment, cast, ... are the synonyms of 'project'. They are added by default. Users can disable adding synonyms in 'Insert Macro' by changing settings in Options.

If users input 'assignment', 'jobs' and work', each on a different line, then click OK, in Content Editor Box, the selected 'projects' will be replaced by '{{{projects|assignment|work|jobs}}}'.

 

C.4) Options

Users can change the Synonyms Database, Spell Checker, Insert Macro settings, and Maximum Number of Search Threads. *** When users use Google as Search Source, Maximum Number of Search Threads is limited in Options. By default, it is 5. Users can use upto 20 threads for search at the same time. The more threads, the faster the search will be. However, the more threads also needs more computer memory. And too many threads may cause the computer runs slowly. 

 

C.5) Build Local Database

The articles should be in txt format. Users select the folder where the local articles are saved, then the software will add them into local database.
