Index
WWW browsers with Java support (e.g. Netscape 2.0) will show the dialog
elements of the search engine above. You cannot work with the index without
having Java! Further, the search engine will only be available when this
page is loaded from a local file rather than accessed by WWW,
(i.e. the URL of this page has to start with file: and not
http:)!
Using the Index
-
Enter the string you are looking for in the Search for Keyword
field. The search engine is looking for documents where this input occurs as
a substring. The case of characters is not significant. You can use the
Clear Keyword button to delete the input before typing a new string.
-
Choose a chapter of the documentation where the search engine should look
for the entered string. Use "All Help Files" to search the whole documemtation.
-
Click on the Start Search button to activate the search engine.
Pages that match the entered string are displayed in the scrollable
list. The number of matches is shown in parentheses behind the page title.
You can press the Stop Search button to interrupt the search engine.
-
To see one of the found pages, select it in the list and press the
Go To button (or simply double-click it). Depending on the setting
of radio button Go to Page in, the new page is either displayed
in a New Window of the WWW browser or in the Same Window.
-
Unfortunately, it is not possible to highlight the found keyword in the
documents. But for example, you can use Netscape's Edit/Find... menu of the
WWW browser to search the particular keyword on the page again.
Notes:
- After using the Search in Chapter menu, the menu button
may become partially invisible. This seems to be a Netscape specific
problem. A simple reload of the page in browser usually helps in this case.
-
After selecting the Stop Search button, the search engine will need
some time to stop all operations. Please be patient.
