The "Search" manual finds an image in a folder in 4 clicks:
 
	Click the “1”, "2", "3", and "4" Buttons in the Toolbar.

However, While this is very simple, the "Search" Menu has two problems:

(1) Every run loads the signature library, which can take some time if the library is large;
(2) There is only one library, a1.txt.

The "Advanced" Menu solves both problems.



To search for an image in a folder in your computer:
 

1. Select a folder (Click the “1” Button in the Toolbar);

2. Get Library Signatures (Click the “2” button in the Toolbar);

3. Move the signatures to the correct location (Click "Advanced/Create Library (Copy .\data\a1.txt to .\data\libraries)" menu item).

4. Load the library (Click the "Advanced/Load Library (.\data\libraries\*.txt)" menu item);

5. Select a Key image (Click the “3” Button in the Toolbar);

6. Search (Click the "Advanced/1:N Matching (key vs. Library)" menu item).

 

 
The "Adavnced" Menu allows you to search without loading the same library each round or time. 
It also allows you to use multiple library files computed earlier. In step 4 above, 
all files in the folder, .\data\libraries\*.txt, will be loaded. 



In addition, during running, you can add more library files by:

	Load additional library (Click "Advanced/Load Additional Library (.\data\libraries2\*.txt)" menu item);
