A keyword search allows you to enter a set of keywords and search all the documents for instances of the words entered.
Alternatively you may elect to enter a phrase and have the search engine search explicitly for that phrase in all the documents.
But wait, there's more... you can even do searches which combine the two.
The search engine is something that I built. Think of it belonging in the same class of engines as mopeds. It's nothing extravagant but it gets the job done. It's a hack of my first PERL script. It's probably inefficient as hell but what ya want for nothing?
Keywords are a combination of plain text and regular expressions. To enter keywords, separate each word by a comma. The words will be or'd together.
For example, to perform a search that includes trace flags or 605 one would enter the following:
trace flags|605
Phrases are more than one word type of searches. Searching via phrases is limited because the current implementation doesn't allow for phrases to span more than one line. If the need arises I may implement this.
Multiple phrases can be entered by separating them with a bar: |.
To search for documents that have the phrase activate trace flags you'd enter:
activate trace flags
If this button is pressed, then the search searches hi and low for a match. (Yes the pun was intended).
fiz will match Fiz, fIZ and so on...
