Make sure you dragged the iVerbum Folder from the Disk Image into "/Applications" and NOT "Your_home/Applications", otherwise the tutorial index sets will not load automatically.

Operating System
- iVerbum runs only on Mac OS X.4 or OS X.5
Setting up Index Sets and Root Folders
- Custom create Root Folders:
- Don't load generic folders or mega-folders as Root Folders.
- iVerbum has safeguards to prevent some folders like iVerbum provides some folders (e.g., the hard drive, home folder, etc.) from being Root Folders, but use common sense.
- Set up Index Sets to contain mostly, but not necessarily exclusively your research documents
Search Indexes
- iVerbum constructs its on Search Indexes using the Glimpse search engine developed for UNIX.
- These auxiliary files are hidden but can be created and erased by the user.
- You have control: See FAQ / Troubleshooting for important information regarding search indexes.
Quick Start
- Work through the Quick Start tutorial.
- In OS X.5, iVerbum Help is presented as a type of floating window:
- If you find that you are having trouble entering text in the Search Settings panel, its probably because the Help window is open and active.
- Click in the Search Window in iVerbum and then go back to the Search Settings panel and enter the data.
Languages
- iVerbum is suitable for English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
- iVerbum is not suitable for Chinese or Japanese.
String Search
- The String Search feature of iVerbum has been greatly enhanced in iVerbum 3.
- Since it currently provides an exact match (with a case-sensitivity option), it may not always show the desired hit in PDF documents since the soft returns are translated into a type of 'break' upon creating a pdf file.
- However, all corresponding Boolean hits can be displayed without redoing the search to display the desired results.
- Another version of String Search could be made available in the future if there is sufficient demand for it.
PDF Markup
- Although iVerbum provides numerous and efficient types of pdf markup features, the Strikeout and Underline modes currently work well only for single lines.
- The Highlight, Strikeout, and Underline markup features work only in OS X.5.
- However, the highlighting of search hits in PDF files works for Tiger as well as for Leopard.
- PDF Mark currently works for pages in the Portrait, but not Landscape, Orientation.
