Simple Searching
How do I search for a specific word?

Definition:
    A word is any string of more than one letters and/or digits.

Words do not include non-alphanumeric characters (i.e. ! @ # $ % ^ & ) and white space (spaces, tabs, etc.). The following are examples of words:
    AllThatJazz, abcdef, 1997, John

The following would be interpreted as one word:
    don't as don
because ' is punctuation, and t is one letter.
    Texas A&M as Texas
with A, & and M being eliminated for similar reasons.

The following would be interpreted as two words:
    http://www as http and www
    sub-folder as sub and folder

The Searcher is case-insensitive, thus mike, MIKE, and Mike are equivalent when searching.

1. If it isn't already open, double-click on the Data Detective Searcher icon on the desktop.

2.

Click on one of the lettered tabs in the Indexing Notebook to access a list of all indexed words starting with that letter.

3.

Use the navigation icons (small pages, left and right hands) to display a desired portion of this list.

4.

Click on a word in this portion and it will be copied into the search query textfield.

You can also type your word manually.

5. Click the Magnifying Glass, or hit Enter to perform your search.

The documents that match your search query will be ranked and presented in the Results Notebook as hyperlinks.

6. Click on one of the hyperlinks to open a document, using the application associated with that type of file.
