INFOMINE, as mentioned, provides a great number of access points, BROWSE (What's New, Title, Table of Contents, Subject -- LCSH, Subject - LCC, Search -- Research Discipline, Key Word, Megatopics - Keyword in context, Title, Author, hyperlinked indexing) and SEARCH (Title, Subject -- LCSH, Key Word, Author, Description, Full-text), and LIMIT search (Resource Type, Resource Origin and Access) modes.

Searching in fielded and full-text mode allows the user to quickly find high quality resources on the chosen subject(s). Nested, boolean searching capabilities are featured as is exact searching. Search results come back in the form of dynamically created Web pages.

Results within these can be ranked by relevance to the search or alphabetically by title. Displays available include title only, regular display, long display and full display.  Many of the displays feature indexing terms that are viewable and in hyperlink form and, when clicked upon, allow further broadening or narrowing of the search as desired.
