A security device for attachment to a container having external walls such that a transponder thereon is located externally of or adjacent to one of said external walls so as to avoid being shielded by a metal layer within the container (e.g. the metal layer within a disk such as a CD or DVD). The security device is arranged to trigger an alarm signal if the container is moved within the range of an alarm unit with the security device attached thereto, and has a releasable locking mechanism to secure it to the container such that release of the locking mechanism requires the use of authorized release means. In one embodiments the transponder is located in the vicinity of a window in a metal layer, e.g. at the centre of the disk.

A method, system, and computer program device implements a search in, for example, a healthcare provider medical information portal. For example, instead of having to type or key a search item into an interface, the search may be conducted, automatically, for data records relevant to the item by executing a search query event. More particularly, the search query event identifies the item, which may be displayed in a user interface, to be searched. In addition to identifying the item, the search query event also initiates the search. In one example, the search query event includes positioning a cursor over a phrase, term or other item displayed on a webpage and clicking a mouse button. The present invention requires fewer interactions to execute a search. The search technique may be implemented with any type of portal.
