1. _I_n_t_r_o_d_u_c_t_i_o_n
InfoSearch allows users to search and browse virtually all
SGI documentation: online books, man pages and release
notes. It is best described as a graphical, "web-based",
alternative to many standard IRIX Interactive Desktop(TM)
tools and commands such as: _i_n_s_i_g_h_t(1), _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1),
_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1), _x_m_a_n(1), and _m_a_n(1). Note that at this time it
does not contain every feature offered by each of those
tools taken individually.
The InfoSearch client is a simple, SGI-provided "web-
browser" that connects to a Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
process (referred to as the InfoSearch "server") that works
in conjunction with your HTTP (web) server. If you wish, a
standard "web-browser" such as netscape(1) can be used to
contact any available InfoSearch "server"; the InfoSearch
client is not required. Simply point your browser at a
requested InfoSearch "server" URL; such as as
http://<hostname>/infosearch/. You can also access up-to-
date InfoSearch content from SGI at:
http://techpubs.sgi.com/infosearch/.
Note: Packaged with this software is a separate sheet that
contains the Software License Agreement. This
software is provided to you solely under the terms
and conditions of the Software License Agreement.
Please take a few moments to review the Agreement.

After you install the online release notes for a product
(the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s subsystem), you can view the release notes on
your screen.
Note: You can read the online release notes for most
products before installing the software. Refer to
the booklet in your CD-ROM case for more information.
If you have a graphics system, select ``Release Notes'' from
the Help submenu of the Toolchest. This displays the
_i_n_f_o_s_e_a_r_c_h(1) or _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) graphical browser for the
online release notes.
Refer to the _i_n_f_o_s_e_a_r_c_h(1) or _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page(s) for
information on options to this command.
If you do not have a graphics system, you can use the
_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s command. Refer to the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page for
accessing the online release notes.
