Hoi,
You are conflating two tools .. they are still quite distinct..

   - What you refer to is a query tool and IT provides you with the numbers
   you quote.
   - Reasonator provides you with a search functionality and a display
   functionality

So Reasonator gives you something like this [1]
Thanks,
      GerardM
