![]() ![]() You CAN run complex REGEX searches in Bookends, but only on the meta-content to an article. Neither Bookends nor Papers3 are well-enough equipped to set up group searches on content that is already in your database. For example, I would be looking for a menu or preferences simply saying (Set) Search Engines, not looking for a menu File : Import Filter Manager (which, since “import” is also a verb, could be taken to mean “import the filter manager as a file”). I am still struggling with what I consider to be a complex or cumbersome or counter-intuitive layout of the menus and preferences and terminologies in Bookends. Papers3 allows you to merge duplicates (sometimes poorly though) while Bookends make you think “What the heck am I doing … I don’t want to REMOVE duplicates, I want to compare/combine/merge them”? And when you are going to “remove” them in Bookends, you have again to do the process in a tedious one-at-a-time, move to a hit list first approach. Then … Then … Then … In Papers3, they are all run at once. In Bookends, you must run each resource one at a time. Papers3 has a far better approach to searching multiple resources on the internet. Consider ((au: somename) OR (au: someothername)) AND ((all: some term) NOT (all: someterm)). Papers3 does far better than Bookends at allowing you to set up group searching methods on internet searches. I suspect (and have heard in passing somehow) that Papers/Readcube has lost/dropped their rights to access certain Web portal databases that gave them the data they needed to do these two functions. I can state categorically these findings so far:Ĭertain functions that Papers3 once had as best in class are now no longer reliable. I am just doing a knock-down, drag-out evaluation between Papers3 and Bookends.
