Heurist's search function is designed to allow users to rapidly locate any record of interest. Search is so intrinsic to Heurist that the heursit homepage is in fact a search page - a search for anything you have marked as a Favourite. This is designed to put the web sites and other resources that you use every day at your fingertips.

Heurist's advanced search allows much more targetted searches, designed to search only in specific fields or to retrieve specific lists of records which can then be plublished as lists, bibliographies, maps, timeliens and so forth.
