+
+<p>
+If you have trouble with searching, you can check the following tips.
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Check a spelling of your keyword<br>
+Namazu can't find anything with wrong spelling.
+
+<li>Add keywords<br>
+
+If you gained no results or too few results, you can add one
+or more related keywords with <code
+class="operator">or</code> operator. It makes your search
+more hittable. e.g., <br>
+<code class="example">tex or ptex or latex or latex2e</code><br>
+
+If you gaind too many results, you can add one or more
+related keywords with <code class="operator">and</code>
+operator. It makes your search more limited. e.g., <br>
+<code class="example">latex and dvi2ps and eps</code>
+
+<li>Try substring matching<br>
+
+If you gained no results or too few results, you can try
+substring matching.
+
+You can specify <code class="example">tex*</code> to
+search for terms which begin with
+<code>tex</code> (e.g., <code>tex</code>,
+<code>texi2html</code>,
+<code>texindex</code>, <code>text</code>).
+<br>
+
+You can specify <code class="example">*tex</code> to
+search for terms which terminated with <code>tex</code> (e.g.,
+<code>bibtex</code>,
+<code>jlatex</code>, <code>latex</code>,
+<code>platex</code>, <code>ptex</code>, <code>vertex</code>).
+<br>
+
+You can specify <code class="example">*tex*</code> to
+search for terms which contain <code>tex</code> (many).
+<br>
+
+<li>You tried phrase searching but it hit documents which
+didn't contain your phrase.<br>
+
+It's a defect of Namazu. Precision of phrase searching is
+not 100 %, so it cause wrong results occasionally.
+
+<li>You want to use <code class="operator">and</code>,
+<code class="operator">or</code> or <code
+class="operator">not</code> as ordinary keywords<br>
+You can surround them respectively with double quotes like <code
+class="operator">"..."</code> or braces like <code
+class="operator">{...}</code>.
+
+</ul>
