ONLINE HELP from the CD-ROM / Text Searching
Using the
Text-Searching Capabilities of Excavating Occaneechi
Town This feature can be an important tool for finding
information quickly. The full-text search will only look for text in
the text-based chapters of the report. It does not search for text in
tables or in the artifact databases. It also does not search for
common words or for numbers in the text.
Getting to Text Search The text-search function
is accessed by selecting Search | Text Search from the menu at the top
of the page. This invokes a dialog box which lets you initiate a word
search. See Using the Menus for more help.
Using the Search
Tool The search dialog box allows you to specify text to search
for. You can limit the search to a single chapter or expand it to
search all chapters. After you have specified the text to search for,
press the Query button. A list of all the matching pages will appear
in the Query Results Window. You can go directly to any of these pages
by either double-clicking on a line or highlighting a line and hitting
the Go To button.
About Page Marks
Whenever you navigate to a page using the search tool, all occurrences
of the searched text on that page will be highlighted in red, and the
text will be scrolled so you can see the first instance of the searched
text. The red marks will remain there indefinitely until one of two
things happens: The marks can be cleared at any time by pressing the
Clear All Marks Now button on the Search page; they are also cleared
every time you go to a new page from the Search tool if the Clear Old
Marks Automatically button is checked.
Advanced Searches Excavating Occaneechi Town
includes some sophisticated search tools which allow you to find
complicated series of words on any given page. These tools include
and, or, and not operators, as well as proximity
searches and wildcards.
- And
Operator
Use "+" between words to search for both words
on a page.
- Or Operator
Use
"," between words to search for either set of words on a
page.
- Not Operator
Use "-"
between words to search for pages without certain
words.
- Proximity Searches
This
tool searches for words or character strings that occur within a
specified proximity of one another. Proximity is specified by placing
"/x/" between two words, where x is a number. You can use
"/x,y/" to search for words within x to y
words of each other. For example, specifying "chipped /2,4/ artifact"
searches for all places where "chipped" occurs within two to four words
of "artifact." Specifying "chipped /-5,5/ artifact" searches for all
places where "chipped" occurs within five words before or after
"artifact."
- Wildcards
Use "*" at
the end of a word to specify an indeterminate end. For example, typing
"hea*" will find hearth, heat, and heap.
- Compound Searches
Searches
can be compounded with the use of parentheses. For example, specifying
"bone + pottery" lists all pages that have the words "bone" and
"pottery" on them, specifying "hearth - charcoal" lists all pages that
have the word "hearth" but not the word "charcoal," and specifying
"(hearth - charcoal), (bone + pottery)" lists all pages that have
"hearth" and not "charcoal" as well as all pages that have "bone" and
"pottery."
