The SEARCH FUNCTION  launches a full- text seach. The results, as links- with the corresponding interlinks-  are displayed in the main window and lead to the additional information within the reference site.

The ranking of these links ensues without priorities, given the underlying reason for the seach is unknown. It resides with the user to pick the information that is the most interesting.

The GLOSSARY  contains an (incomplete, because a glossary can never be complete) compilation of important Latin and health related terms. The terms that are included in the glossary are highligted in dark blue all the texts of the RenMai reference site.

Going to one of these terms, for simple translations, immediately the translation of the term apears in "mouse-over". When longer explanations are registered in the glossary then they appear in a pop- upp window upon clicking on the term.

INTERLINKS to the meridian points: All meridian points have links, so  you can look up the details of the given point any time, while you are reading another text. By clicking "back" in the browser toolbar you can return from the point description to the last opened text.
