4.0 out of 5 stars A useful reference guide, November 30, 1999
By 
This review is from: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (CD-ROM)
I found this guide to be very helpful by providing a fully-searchable set of the episode scripts. It sounds like wcaver was using the feature search (which is somewhat less than useful), rather than the full text search (which finds every instance of a word in all of the scripts).

However, it isn't perfect. For one thing, if you click on any word in the script or synopsis, it does a text search for that word. For someone who is used to clicking in a window to bring the focus there, this is very distracting. For another thing, the guest star information is incomplete; only the "primary" guest stars are listed, and the actors who played minor roles are not listed.

Still, for the price this is a very handy product.

If You've ever wondered about a script for DS9, This is the thing to get, it has scripts, Promo Videos and pictures, and even has some cut scenes in the scripts (not videos however :( )

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing - and the search engine is worthless!, November 29, 1999
By 
wcaver@nyx.net (Broomfield, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (CD-ROM)
I'm a serious fan of DS9, and I also write fiction about the show, so I had high hopes for a database containing all the scripts combined with a way to fully search the files for references to specific words (such as all the times the Orbs were mentioned). Instead, I was extremely annoyed to find the word-search function only shows the FIRST use of a word in a script, and it even sometimes IGNORES uses of a word. For example, the word-search function could not find the word "Maquis" anywhere in the episode "The Maquis, Part I" ! Having all the scripts to read is nice -- and is the only reason I gave it two stars. But the scripts are bulky to access, and it's all you really get. There are no encyclopedia entries, so I'm baffled by the earlier review's comparison to other Star Trek encyclopedae. The only videos that come with the companion are the "coming attractions" previews for each episode, which are useless for reference purposes. What really ticked me off is Simon and Schuster advertises the DS9 companion as "fully searchable." When I complained, a Simon and Schuster tech-support rep told me I was using the program correctly, but apparently the advertising department's definition of "fully searchable" was different than mine! So buy this if you really want to read all the scripts on your computer. Otherwise, don't waste your time.
