How do I update my glossaries?

Every month, we issue glossary updates to all of our current customers, which expands the abilities of SearchMaster. These updates come from customer submissions, as well as the tireless efforts of our staff and programmers. Updating the glossaries is a quick and easy process that is taken within the software itself, and requires you to click just a few buttons inside SearchMaster, while connected to the Internet. If you need help with this process, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

  • Make certain you are connected to the Internet
  • Open SearchMaster
  • At the very bottom of the program, click the third tab from the left that reads NEWS & UPDATES
  • When the screen changes, click the UPDATE MY SEARCHMASTER button just above that row of tabs
  • When the screen changes AGAIN, click the same button, which now reads UPDATE NE NOW
    • This new screen will show you an update message, the date of the latest glossary updates and the number of glossaries updated in the last release
  • A new window will now appear
  • In this new window, be certain that all the checkboxes are selected
  • Click the UPDATE ME! button in the bottom left corner of that window
  • SearchMaster will begin to download and install the new glossary updates
    • This process may take a few seconds, or a few minutes, depending on the speed of your Internet as well as when you last updated
  • Once the updates have finished, simply click the OK button that appears to confirm the updates are installed
  • You may now continue using SearchMaster as you normally would, with all the new Glossary Updates now installed!
