Our MARCView/Super product indexes every word in every field,
and the results are keywords searchable using Boolean logic.
MARCView/Super is deployed on the web, so anyone with a browser
can search and view records. File size is unlimited.

We also offer a simpler Windows product, MARCView, that does
not preindex, but does permit searching on any string in any
field. MARCView is used in 34 countries around the world.

For more information on these products, please see

http://www.systemsplanning.com/marc/

which also includes a link so you can try MARCView/Super.

We would be happy to answer any questions on this.
