This article describes how mathematical content items and formulæ are processed,
retrieved, and accessed in ActiveMath. Central to the retrieval and access is a search tool
which allows for searching text, attributes, relations and formulæ, and presenting items. The
search tool has been evaluated according to the standard measures of precision and recall
as well as for usability. We report results of these evaluations.
