@ChrisChampagne it’s been awhile since I’ve used PersonalBrain, so I’m unsure if it’ll search within documents attached to a node. I’m confident you’ll find such an answer at the developer’s website. All the best with your mindmapping journey

Hi, I am a former developer/analyst of database applications running on Oracle RDBMS. Mind mapping is all new to me and I was wondering about searching in personal brain. I watched your presentation on searching and it looks like one can quickly locate keywords used in naming objects. What I want to know is, can I search full text of documents linked to these objects? If not, then I suppose I would want to include a list of relevant, searchable keywords in each object name … ? Thanks!

Interesting to read your experiences. I like the concept a lot but kept getting lost in it — probably not unlike my own brain at times! : )

Thanks Sherman. I’ve used MindManager (http://www.mindjet.com) so far and I’ve been very satisfied with it, but I might take a look at this software as well to see if it has features MindManager doesn’t cover.

Hi, Sherman. You turned me on to mindmapping a while back. Now I use Personal Brain as an on-the-fly visual aid in my university courses, enabling me and my students to sketch out ideas and show relationships among concepts. Students wake up and participate more because it’s interactive, it’s different, and it makes connections between ideas easier to understand. I don’t know if other teachers out there are using Personal Brain as a classroom aid, but I highly recommend it. It sure beat the overhead projector or slide shows.

Wow, I just checked TheBrain.com and it is awesome. I have been using bubbl.us to organize ideas related to my projects but TheBrain is a much robust application. I’m asking to myseld how come I have not been using a mind mapping software earlier! Thanks for sharing, Sherman.

That’s super, Michael! A very effective and efficient way to brainstorm, engage, attract, educate, connect.

Attention teachers, learn from Michael’s application of using TheBrain.com’s PersonalBrain to make your teaching work easier.

Thanks Michael!

Thanks Sherman. That’s great info. That will make things a little easier to find. Now it can really work like my brain “oh look there’s a butterfly” and I’ll still be able to find things.
