The new QWEB interface supports full functionality by offering the full command structure of Questel-Orbit s software. Four years ago, the company began offering QPAT, but only for patent files. All features available over the traditional search software now appear in the QWEB interface, including the Print Legal and Print Cited functions. Menus support users in building and saving search strategies, e.g. a database menu by subject.
Searchers also have the option of an expert mode.
They can prepare scripts offline and upload them complete, line by line, or in any order. The interface can export sessions including images straight into word processing software in RTF format. The new QWEB interface particularly supports fast, high-quality display of images such as logotypes and patents drawing. Searchers just click to view integrated images, including a link to very high quality TIFF images. QWEB provides additional security with SSL search encryption.
