If you have trouble with searching, you can check the following tips. |

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. You should get more results. |
16 |
e.g., <br> |
17 |
<code class="example">tex or ptex or latex or latex2e</code><br> |
18 |
|
19 |
If you gained 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>. |
