Text articles are displayed in a flat, rather than tree-based, listing. Stored articles are retrieved using a scheme based on user-defined keywords. This type of keyword-based system was based on the keyword systems used by common research databases of the 1990s, such as Knowledge Index and CompuServe's file library, and is similar to the keywords Index for a MS Help file. In recent Internet usage, such keywords are now often referred to as metadata "tags". Articles are filtered using various criteria, including keywords, dates, and attachments.

A free read-only version of the program, called Personal Knowbase Reader, is available to allow for distribution of content in the Personal Knowbase format.

  • Boolean queries on keywords
  • Hypertext links to external files and between articles

gollark: Really? I thought it was going the opposite way.
gollark: I doubt it would be very intensive. Just mildly inelegant and inefficient.
gollark: I'm sure there's *some* way to background it or whatever, or offload it to another process.
gollark: Or, I guess, more generically, "a thing to run a shell command based on some ingame action", which I bet already exists.
gollark: That sounds like a highly inefficient way to say "a thing to take ZFS snapshots on command".
