Search for all Species in an Area
Finding every animal or plants species in an area that you specify is one of the major high-speed functions for Just a Minute, and the process is a very simple one.

Find the area to search
You may use the navigational tools in Just a Minute to find the map tile you wish to use in your search.  Or you may use the place name index to find the tile for you (e.g. the example on the right looks for Bruthen a small town in east Gippsland).  Once selected the map tile will load and the place name will be circled in red.

Define the area to search
In Just a Minute this process is very simple.  Just click the Select Grid option, move the cursor to the area you want to search, then click the left mouse button.  This will draw a 1-minute grid on the map.  You may then repeat this process as many times as you like until the entire area you want to search is covered.  (Note: some of the grids may be coloured red because there is, as yet, no data recorded for them).

Create a list of all species in the search area
This is done with a single mouse click after which a full list of all species in the area will be displayed.  You may then export that list, display text and pictures for any species, filter the list on any characteristics or do anything that can be done with the full species list.
