Various mouse actions trigger off certain effects in the cloud. The table below summarizes all possible mouse actions and the outcome in the cloud:
| Mouse Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Click a word | The word is highlighted with red and automatically added to the query. The new query is sent to the Web, new results are downloaded, and the cloud is rebuilt. Depending on the set Coverage value, the number of mapped words may be different. The higher the Coverage value, the more words you see on the visual map. |
| Click a query word (highlighted with red) | The word is marked as an ordinary word (the red highlighting is removed and Quintura no longer treats it as a query word). 'Unclicking' a single query word clears the cloud and displays the empty search box. |
| Point to a word | The map displays the context of the word. If the Autorefine results check box is selected in the Settings dialog box, each time you point to a word new results are downloaded. You can go deeper and add or exclude any of the context words to or from your query.
Also, the Out button  is displayed. This button allows you to exclude the selected word from the query. |
| Point to a word, and then click Out near it |
The word is excluded from the query. The result list and the map are automatically updated and the files containing excluded words are removed from the list. To return any of the words, erase these in the search bar, and then click the appropriate word. The new query is sent to the Web and the result list is updated. |
| Double-click anywhere on the map | The text box for adding query words is displayed. Type a word to add it to the query. Type a word preceeded by the minus sign to exclude it from your query (see above). |
