 The query language was designed according to the syntactic/semantic entities of the Erlang language. So it introduces files, macros, modules, functions, expressions, records, record fields, etc.
 
-The detailed description of the queries can be found [wiki:SemanticQuery here]. The description of the entities, its properties and selectors are defined [http://pnyf.inf.elte.hu/trac/refactorerl/wiki/SemanticQuery/Components here], but you can use the {{{?}}} selector in {{{ri}}}: {{{ri:q("mods.?")}}}. For further examples please check this [http://pnyf.inf.elte.hu/trac/refactorerl/wiki/SemanticQuery/Examples page].

 Once you build a query, you need an initial selector to start. That can be either a position based entity selection {{{@fun}}} -- the function pointed in the web interface, or a global starting point, like {{{mods}}} -- all analysed modules.

+==Features of the web interface
+
+=== Database browse
+ * The web interface of the tool provides a view where the content of the database can be observed. 
+ * You can search for a certain module or header 
+ * and view the content of the source in the code browser
+
+=== Code browser
+ * The web interface provides a code browser to check the source code with clickable code parts 
+ * built-in queries can be started from the source that navigates to the queries tab
+ * clickable entities are functions, records, variables, macros, etc.
+   * built-in dynamic function calls
+   * user-defined function references
+   * references, definition, macro value on right-click
+ * provides a function quick list view
+ * plain text search in available
+ * semantic search from one file (position-based)
+    * you can just point some entity and write a query starting with {{{@}}} -- {{{@expr, @fun}}}, etc
+    * queries are shared with other users
+
+=== Dependency graph view
+ * Dependency defined through function calls between modules
+ * You can customize the graph by filtering the included modules, excluding library dependencies, searching cyclic dependencies, etc.
+
+=== Duplicated code detection
+ * Different duplicated searching algorithms are supported
+ * Parameters can be set based on the selected algorithm to customize the searching
+ * Seraching on the full database may take a long time
