How
to perform searches with Windex ?
 If you enter several words, Windex uses the proximity operator.
Two words are near if they are separated
by "empty" words. Empty words
are articles, pronouns, link words...
For
instance :
will
match the word search
followed
by engine.
Windex
manages Boolean operators: and,
with, or, not, without, except
Enter,
for example:
You
can type the words
- in
lower case or upper case: Windex
is not case-sensitive,
-
in the plural or the singular:
Windex manages plural
words in French (and in English,
depending on the configuration
of the WindexA applet)
Sophisticated
search:
Go
into "phonetic search"
mode via the corresponding checkbox,
type the word as you would pronounce
it, then click on the search
button
For
example: type "fonetic",
and Windex will find "phonetic"
If
the checkbox is not displayed,
add the equals sign "="in
front of the first letter of
the word, so as to indicate
that this word is to be searched
for phonetically.
To
perform a wide search covering
the words connected to a word
root, type for example: us*
and Windex will show
the documents containing the
words starting with "us".
NB:
this method may generate a great
many answers, to the detriment
of relevance.
The
word must include the first
two letters.
A wildcard can
replace any group of letters
in a word.
Remember, the
root of the word must contain
at least 2 letters.
The
results window is displayed
The results
window shows you
 the
number of pages found which contain
the words entered
the
list of HTML pages, indicating:
- the
result number,
- the
page title in red,
- the
page summary in black,
- in
blue and on the right, the link
to the HTML page (hypertext
link).
To run down
the list of answers, use the lift on
the right of the window.
Choosing
an answer

open the chosen page, click on the hypertext
link.
