1 | <h2><a name="tips">Tips on searching</a></h2> |
2 | ||
3 | <p> | |
4 | If you have trouble with searching, you can check the following tips. | |
5 | </p> | |
6 | ||
7 | <ul> | |
8 | <li>Check a spelling of your keyword<br> | |
9 | Namazu can't find anything with wrong spelling. | |
10 | ||
11 | <li>Add keywords<br> | |
12 | ||
13 | If you gained no results or too few results, you can add one | |
14 | or more related keywords with <code | |
15 | class="operator">or</code> operator. It makes your search | |
16 | more hittable. e.g., <br> | |
17 | <code class="example">tex or ptex or latex or latex2e</code><br> | |
18 | ||
19 | If you gaind too many results, you can add one or more | |
20 | related keywords with <code class="operator">and</code> | |
21 | operator. It makes your search more limited. e.g., <br> | |
22 | <code class="example">latex and dvi2ps and eps</code> | |
23 | ||
24 | <li>Try substring matching<br> | |
25 | ||
26 | If you gained no results or too few results, you can try | |
27 | substring matching. | |
28 | ||
29 | You can specify <code class="example">tex*</code> to | |
30 | search for terms which begin with | |
31 | <code>tex</code> (e.g., <code>tex</code>, | |
32 | <code>texi2html</code>, | |
33 | <code>texindex</code>, <code>text</code>). | |
34 | <br> | |
35 | ||
36 | You can specify <code class="example">*tex</code> to | |
37 | search for terms which terminated with <code>tex</code> (e.g., | |
38 | <code>bibtex</code>, | |
39 | <code>jlatex</code>, <code>latex</code>, | |
40 | <code>platex</code>, <code>ptex</code>, <code>vertex</code>). | |
41 | <br> | |
42 | ||
43 | You can specify <code class="example">*tex*</code> to | |
44 | search for terms which contain <code>tex</code> (many). | |
45 | <br> | |
46 | ||
47 | <li>You tried phrase searching but it hit documents which | |
48 | didn't contain your phrase.<br> | |
49 | ||
50 | It's a defect of Namazu. Precision of phrase searching is | |
51 | not 100 %, so it cause wrong results occasionally. | |
52 | ||
53 | <li>You want to use <code class="operator">and</code>, | |
54 | <code class="operator">or</code> or <code | |
55 | class="operator">not</code> as ordinary keywords<br> | |
56 | You can surround them respectively with double quotes like <code | |
57 | class="operator">"..."</code> or braces like <code | |
58 | class="operator">{...}</code>. | |
59 | ||
60 | </ul> |
