Select this item if you want to search through all the text in the title.

Search Results Dialog Box

Use the options in this dialog to go to a topic which matches the search criteria :

Topics Containing Search Criteria

This list displays the names of the matching topics.

Go To

This option displays the selected topic.

Note:  This dialog box can be stretched to show more of the topic names.


Using Search Operators

When you use the Search button to search for information, you can use the search operators AND, OR, NOT, and NEAR to narrow your search. Each operator is described below. You can enter an operator in either lowercase or uppercase letters ("and" is interpreted the same as "AND").

AND

The AND operator selects topics containing all phrases connected by AND operators. If a phrase does not appear in quotes, any space between words in the phrase is assumed to represent an implicit AND. For example:

Bees love Honey

This phrase finds any topic containing the three words "Bees," "love," and "Honey." This is the same as specifying Bees AND love AND Honey. However, when quotes are used, ProTech Media Viewer searches for the entire phrase. For example:

"Bees love Honey"

This phrase finds any topic containing the phrase "Bees love Honey."

OR

The OR operator selects topics containing either phrase connected by OR operators. For example:

Bees OR Honey

This query displays topics containing either the word "Bees" or the word "Honey."

NOT

The NOT operator selects any topic that does contain the phrase preceding NOT, but doesn't contain the phrase following NOT. For example:

Bees NOT Honey

This query finds topics containing the word "Bees" but not the word "Honey."

NEAR

The NEAR operator selects any topic in which one phrase appears within a certain number of words of the second phrase. The default value is 8 words. For example:

Bees NEAR Honey

This query finds any topic in which the word "Bees" appears within 8 words before or after the word "Honey."  Use the Settings Command (Edit Menu) to alter the Search Nearness Value.


Using the THRU Operator

The THRU operator lets you search on numeric ranges such as dates, times, numbers, and epochs. You can also use the THRU operator to search on alphabetical ranges, such as on all words from Bee THRU Beetle. The search result would be all words alphabetically falling between "bee" and "beetle." (This search would include the words "bee" and "beetle.") An example of a numeric search would be searching on all dates in a given year:  1/1/1941 THRU 12/31/1941.

Note:  Only simple, single word expressions may be used with the THRU operator. You cannot use multiple words, parentheses, or phrases in quotes with the THRU operator.


Using Multiple Search Operators

When you use the Search button to search for information, you can use multiple search operators to define more complex search criteria. For example, if you enter honey AND bees NOT hives in the Search by Word box, ProTech Media Viewer will match topics that contain the words "honey" and "bees" but do not contain the word "hives."

Note:  By default, operators are evaluated from left to right. You can use parentheses to specify a different order - operators within parentheses are evaluated first.

This query	Searches for
honey OR bees AND hives	Topics containing either the word honey or the word bees in addition to the word hives.
honey OR (bees AND hives)	Topics containing the word bees and the word hives or topics containing the word honey.
honey OR bees NOT hives	Topics containing either the word honey or the word bees but not the word hives.
honey OR (bees NOT hives)	Topics containing the word bees but not the word hives or topics containing the word honey.


Edit Settings Command
Settings Command (Edit Menu)

This command displays a Settings dialog box where the application settings may be changed.

Shortcuts

Keys:	CTRL+S


Settings Dialog Box

Use the options in this dialog to alter way the ProTech Media Viewer displays information:

Directory

Enter the name of the directory into which the annotations and bookmark files should be placed.  These files have the same name as the open title with the file extensions ".ANN" and ".BKM" respectively.  The directory name may only be entered when you do NOT have a title open.

Auto Advance Gap

This is the number of seconds between each topic displayed when the auto advance feature is on.

Search Nearness Value

This is the number of words between search words when the NEAR operator is used.  For example a search for "dog NEAR cat" would find topics where the word "dog" was found within this number of words of the word "cat".

Magnify Text By

This option makes the text larger or smaller in the Media View areas (it does not change the text size on any graphical screens or bitmaps).

Metric Margin Units

This option controls whether page margin settings are displayed in metric (millimetre) or imperial (inch) measurements.

Show Annotation Marker

This option controls whether or not annotation markers are displayed in the non-scrolling title area of topics with annotations attached.

Transparent Windows

This option controls whether or not the background graphic is visible through the text of a Media View topic area.  Switching this option off will improve performance on slower computers.

Hotspot Highlighting

This option controls whether or not the hotspots on fullscreen graphics "light up" as the mouse is passed over them.  Switching this option off will improve performance on slower computers.

Show Search Results

This option controls whether or not the results of the last search are shown in topics as they are displayed.

Show Hyperlinks

This option controls whether or not the hyperlink jumps appear in a different colour to the rest of the text.  This option will only be effective if the open title has been authored with the hyperlinks based on the character style "Jump".

Click Sounds

This option controls whether or not sounds are heard when clicking on hotspots.

Advanced Settings

This option displays the Advanced Settings dialog box.

OK

This option saves the changes made to the settings.  The saved changes will apply to all titles opened thereafter.


Advanced Settings Dialog Box

The options in this dialog box control the way the ProTech Media Viewer displays information:

Auto Resize on Close

This controls whether or not the ProTech Media Viewer resizes a title being opened to the same size as the last title closed .  This option only affects titles with a fullscreen graphical contents screen.

Extra Information

This controls whether or not additional information is displayed when something unexpected happens in the title.  It is provided as an aid to title development.

Border Outside SR/NSR

This controls whether or not a one pixel width black line is drawn around the outside of the Media View areas.

Border Between SR/NSR

This controls whether or not a one pixel width black line is drawn between the scrolling and non-scrolling Media View areas.

Audio in Auto Advance

This option controls whether or not an audio file associated with a photograph is played automatically when a topic is displayed in auto advance mode.

Assume Vertical Scroll Bar

This option controls whether or not a vertical scroll bar is assumed in the scrolling Media View area.  Switching this option on improves performance but wastes some space (the width of a scroll bar) in any small topics not requiring a scroll bar.

Hide Partial Lines

This option controls whether or not partial lines are displayed at the top and bottom of the scrolling Media View area.  Switching this option off improves performance slightly.

History List Size

This option controls how many entries are maintained in the history list.  A smaller number uses less computer memory.

Bookmark List Size

This option controls how many bookmarks are allowed in a title.

Kerning Boundary

This option defines the character point size above which Media View should provide kerning.  On some computers a low value (for example 0) will make the performance dramatically worse.

Search Highlight Colour

This option presents a Colour dialog box.  The selected colour is used to control how the results of a text search are displayed in topics.  The effect of the chosen colour is apparent when a fullscreen graphic is providing the background to the Media View area.

NSR Colour

This option presents a Colour dialog box.  The selected colour is used as a background to text in the non-scrolling Media View area.  The chosen colour will not be visible if a fullscreen graphic is providing the background.

SR Colour

This option presents a Colour dialog box.  The selected colour is used as a background to text in the scrolling Media View area.  The chosen colour will not be visible if a fullscreen graphic is providing the background.


Colour Dialog Box

This dialog allows you to specify a colour.
