April , 2006 HEASARC Users Group Tom McGlynn Tabbed Output Breaks down Browse output into manageable chunks. –Different functions available on different tabs –Missions and tables conveniently organized Shopping cart paradigm for data product retrieval –Users select products associated with each table, then go to retrieval form. Still under development, suggestions very welcome!

April , 2006 HEASARC Users Group Tom McGlynn Keyword Search Interface Google-esque style search: Users enter text describing what they want and Browse tries to find it. Distinguishes times, positions, formats, table selection keywords automatically. Supports search by position, time or any parameter. Allows selection of tables by name, mission, regime,... –Tables selected by matching keywords. Uses JavaScript and AJAX to give users feedback as they are entering information.
