Bridge: "A place to parse your images.."???

[StephenEdgar]

Hi Folks,
I came across a review of Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1, which contained the following paragraph:
"Some people will not need Bridge, while others do not fully understand what it is and how to use it. Admittedly, Bridge is not a DAM program. If you want/need a DAM, consider either iView or Portfolio, both of which are fine programs. However, for rummaging through your photos, looking for a place to parse your images while they are on their way to Camera RAW, .....when you really start to use Bridge, you will find it is the program you start first on your way to use everything and anything else."
I'm curious...what does 'parsing your images' mean?
Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks
Stephen

Google says "To divide, analyse, and categorise individual components..."

I think in this context the word 'peruse' would be better suited.
