I work with medical data that has its own structure which does not lend itself to the current sorting features. If the other features of the current release were not so compelling in other areas I'd be back to good old PB3 in a flash for that feature alone. I'm begging here! ;-} 133 26 4597 PersonalBrain general 130790 Middleway Middleway Middleway 2008-11-13T01:03:40Z 2008-11-13T01:03:40Z general 80419 http://thebrain.uservoice.com/pages/4597-personalbrain/suggestions/80419-unify-modularize-and-expose-the-search-report-filter- This is by far #1 limitation of the software.

This is by far #1 limitation of the software. The search, filtering, and reporting capabilities seem too 'unfinished' or 'disjoint'. I can search nodes with words, but not report on them, I can report on some attributes, but not search on them, and I can't filter based on my searches... A powerful and modular searching would tremendously enhance the usability of the software when you have thousands of nodes. Why not rethink the whole search paradigm and make 3 main changes: 1) Modularize - look at search in Toodledo. Simple, yet very effective. You add additional sub-querries to make searches mode selective e.g. I could create (and SAVE) a search with these 'mini-searches' combined: Creation date + is greater than + date (note: drop down lists change based on context of the previous list) AND TagName + is in list + 'myTag1, myTag2' OR TagName + color is + 'red' AND ThoughtName + is like + 'some text' AND NodeType + is not + 'Book' AND LinkType + is in list + 'reads, reports to' AND CustomAttribute1 + isLessThan + '1000' (Custom type is a separate request but combined with this ability it would take the software light years ahead in terms of possibilities). 2) At the very least, if implementing a GUI is too much, PLEASE expose this via a query language 3) Finally, the search results can be presented as an outline (report), clickable breadcrumb list (search) and/or can filter (or at least hide) the non selected links and/or nodes If such functionality, along with custom attributes is added, I'm willing to pay a higher price for the software. Those two are also the main reason why our company is holding on purchasing many licenses of the software... Is there any chance that we can see this in 5.0? 42 11 4597 PersonalBrain general 156457 LukeP LukeP LukeP 2008-11-28T05:39:07Z 2008-11-28T05:39:07Z general 84715 http://thebrain.uservoice.com/pages/4597-personalbrain/suggestions/84715-unforgettable-read-only-thoughts Add a Read only attribute for thoughts Attachments and notes should be read only too Value: for serious users of PB some of the content is simply too important to allow accidental deletion,...
