3.1.1. Arrange a query

BioSumm is, in its first block, a multi-database articles search engine. In the main window there are various fields to let the user search for complex queries in an intuitive way.
In the query field the user writes the terms he wants articles to talk about (e.g. breast cancer).
The user can also search for articles published in a specific journal (e.g. PLoS Med), along with the maximum number of articles returned from the search. After search is done, BioSumm display a message on the status bar, and a list of articles is shown in the the main window.
