FIND 1 allows the user to define categories or classes of data sets to be searched for in a large file. It then locates and retrieves relevant data from the files stored on magnetic tape. Files can be written in natural language (e.g. English) and entries need not be specially coded for subject headings or cross references. It is possible to search for data fitting into categories not anticipated when the file was created.

The files are created and stored as LAP6 manuscripts, and can be created, edited or updated by a typist or secretary who has no special knowledge of computers after only short training on the use of LAP6.
