TextWare™ Context Help: Search Window

The Search window is active.  This window displays the search
aspects of the CardFile.  Its features are:

    Enter Search Criteria box
    	Type text/words into this box that will make up a search.  Typing
    	in this box causes the Word Wheel to scroll and show the number of
    	occurrences of the word currently typing in.
    
    Search Button
    	Once a search has been entered and all the other options chosen, then
    	press this button (or ENTER) to start the search.  Simple searches 
    	generally work the best and are a good starting point.  You may narrow 
    	a search down to eliminate unwanted "hits" by choosing the 
      other options.
    	Pressing this activates the "HitList" window.
	
	The Word Wheel
		As a search is typed in, the Word Wheel is scrolled to show the closest 
		matching word and the number of cards it occurs on.  This is valuable
		information and helps you choose words that narrow the search as you 
    type.  The word wheel takes time to display and can be turned off using 
		the "Options" menu "Word Wheel" toggle menu item. Unchecked means 
		display of the Word Wheel is off.
		You may also scroll the word wheel and double click on any word in the
		Word Wheel to automatically enter it into the Search Criteria box.
	
	Boolean Operator Buttons
		The default is AND: a simple space between words is the same as an AND.
		These are generally useful when entering more than one search word.
		These options work for the Boolean search type. 
		These are Boolean operators and work the same as their MATHEMATICS 
		counterparts.  In simple terms: when entering more than one word these
		operators can be inserted between the search words.
		Example: 20 cards have the word students
		         30 cards have the word teachers
		         18 cards have both words
		         75 total cards
		         
		AND           Example: Teachers AND students 
		              Result:  18 cards that have both the words 
		                       teachers + students   
		OR            Example: Teachers OR students 
		              Result:  32 cards that have either the words 
		                       teachers or students (30 + 20) - 18
		NOT           Example: NOT students 
		              Result:  55 cards that do not have the word 
		                       students (75 - 20)
		ANDNOT        Example: Teachers ANDNOT students 
		              Result:  12 cards that have the word teachers 
		                       but do not have the word students (30 - 18)
		XOR           Example: Teachers XOR students 
		              Result:  14 cards that have the word teachers or students
		                       but do not have both! (20-18) + (30-18)
		ORNOT         Example: Teachers ORNOT students 
		              Result:  73! cards that have the word teachers 
		                       or do not have the word students (75 -(20-18))
		
	Search Type Options
		Boolean 
			The default search type, fastest, and most used.
		Proximity
			Looking for the search words, not just on the same card

			whether the order of the words is important and how close
			together they must be to match.
		Phrase
			Looking for the search words in the exact sequence.
			Narrows down the search considerably, takes longer.
 	
 	WildCards
