|
---|
| 12 | help.readingdocs=<p>You can tell when you have arrived at an individual book or document because its title, \
|
---|
| 13 | or an image of the front cover, appears at the top left of the page. In some collections, a table of contents appears, \
|
---|
| 14 | while in others (eg. when the paged image option is used) just the page number is shown, along with a box that allows you \
|
---|
| 15 | to select a new page and go forward and backward. In the table of contents, the current section heading is in bold face, \
|
---|
| 16 | and the table is expandable -- click on the folders to open or close them; click on the open book at the top to close it.</p>\
|
---|
| 17 | <p>Underneath is the text of the current section. When you have read through it, there are arrows at the \
|
---|
| 18 | bottom to take you on to the next section or back to the previous one.</p>\
|
---|
| 19 | <p>Below the title or front-cover image are some buttons. Click on <i>EXPAND DOCUMENT</i> to expand out the whole text \
|
---|
| 20 | of the current section, or book. If the document is large, this could take a long time and use a lot of memory! \
|
---|
| 21 | Click on <i>EXPAND CONTENTS</i> to expand out the whole table of contents so that you can see the titles of all \
|
---|
| 22 | chapters and subsections. Click on <i>DETACH PAGE</i> to make a new browser window for this document. \
|

| 28 | help.searchingtitle=<h2>How to search for particular words</h2>
|
---|
| 29 | help.searching=<p>From the search page, you make a query in these simple steps:</p>\
|
---|
| 30 | <ol><li>Specify what items you want to search</li>\
|
---|
| 31 | <li>Say whether you want to search for all or just some of the words</li>\
|
---|
| 32 | <li>Type in the words you want to search for</li>\
|
---|
| 33 | <li>Click the <i>Begin Search</i> button</li>\
|
---|
| 34 | </ol>\
|
---|
| 35 | <p>When you make a query, the titles of twenty matching documents will be shown. \
|
---|
| 36 | There is a button at the end to take you on to the next twenty documents. From \
|
---|
| 37 | there you will find buttons to take you on to the third twenty or back to the \
|
---|
| 38 | first twenty, and so on. Click the title of any document, or the little button \
|
---|
| 39 | beside it, to see it.</p>\
|
---|
| 40 | <p>A maximum of 50 is imposed on the number of \
|
---|
| 41 | documents returned. You can change this number by clicking the \
|
---|
| 42 | <i>PREFERENCES</i> button at the top of the page.</p>

| 44 | help.querytermstitle=<h3>Search Terms</h3>
|
---|
| 45 | help.queryterms=<p>Whatever you type into the query box is interpreted as a list of words or phrases \
|
---|
| 46 | called "search terms." A term is a single word containing only letters and digits, or a phrase \
|
---|
| 47 | consisting of a sequence of words enclosed in double quotes ("..."). Terms are separated by white spaces. \
|
---|
| 48 | If any other characters such as punctuation appear, they serve to separate terms just as though they were \
|
---|
| 49 | spaces. And then they are ignored. You can't search for words that include punctuation.</p> \
|
---|
| 50 | <p>For example, the query</p> \
|
---|
| 51 | <ul><kbd>Agro-forestry in the Pacific Islands: Systems for Sustainability (1993)</kbd></ul> \
|
---|
| 52 | <p>will be treated the same as</p> \
|
---|
| 53 | <ul><kbd>Agro forestry in the Pacific Islands Systems for Sustainability 1993 </kbd></ul>
|
---|
| 54 |
|
---|
| 55 | help.querytypetitle=<h3>Query type</h3>
|
---|
| 56 | help.querytype=<p>There are two different kinds of query. </p>\
|
---|
| 57 | <ul>\
|
---|
| 58 | <li>Queries for <b>all</b> of the words. These look for documents (or chapters, or titles) \
|
---|
| 59 | that contain all the words you have specified. Documents that satisfy the query are displayed, in build order. </li>\
|
---|
| 60 | <li>Queries for <b>some</b> of the words. Just list some terms that are likely to appear in \
|
---|
| 61 | the documents you are looking for. Documents are displayed in order of how closely they match the query. \
|
---|
| 62 | When determining the degree of match, </li>\
|
---|
| 63 | <ul> \
|
---|
| 64 | <li> the more search term occurrences a document contains, the closer it matches; </li>\
|
---|
| 65 | <li> terms which are rare in the collection as a whole are more important than common ones; </li>\
|
---|
| 66 | <li> short documents match better than long ones. </li>\
|
---|
| 67 | </ul> \
|
---|
| 68 | </ul> \
|
---|
| 69 | <p>Use as many search terms as you like--a whole sentence, or even a whole paragraph. If you specify only \
|
---|
| 70 | one term, documents will be ordered by its frequency of occurrence.</p>
|
---|
| 71 |
|
---|
| 72 | help.queryscopetitle=<h3>Scope of queries</h3>
|
---|
| 73 | help.queryscope=<p>In most collections you are given a choice of different indexes to search. For example, there might \
|
---|
| 74 | be author or title indexes. Or there might be chapter or paragraph indexes. Generally, \
|
---|
| 75 | the full matching document is returned regardless of which index you search.</p> \
|
---|
| 76 | <p>If documents are books, they will be opened at the appropriate place.</p>

| 78 | help.changingpreferencestitle=<h2>Changing your preferences</h2>
|
---|
| 79 | help.changingpreferences=<p>When you click the <i>PREFERENCES</i> button at the top of the page you will \
|
---|
| 80 | be able to change some features of the interface to suit your own requirements.</p>
|
---|
| 81 |
|
---|
| 82 | help.collectionpreferencestitle=<h3>Collection preferences</h3>
|
---|
| 83 | help.collectionpreferences=<p>Some collections comprise several subcollections, which can be searched \
|
---|
| 84 | independently or together, as one unit. If so, you can select which \
|
---|
| 85 | subcollections to include in your searches on the Preferences page. </p>
|
---|
| 86 |
|
---|
| 87 | help.languagepreferencestitle=<h3>Language preferences</h3>
|
---|
| 88 | help.languagepreferences=<p>Each collection has a default presentation language, but you can switch to \
|
---|
| 89 | a different language if you like. You can also alter the encoding scheme \
|
---|
| 90 | used by Greenstone for output to the browser -- the software chooses \
|
---|
| 91 | sensible defaults, but with some browsers it may be necessary to switch to \
|
---|
| 92 | a different encoding scheme to ensure correct character display. \
|
---|
| 93 | All collections allow you to switch from the standard graphical interface format to a textual one. This \
|
---|
| 94 | is particularly useful for visually impaired users who use large screen fonts or speech synthesizers for output.</p>
|
---|
| 95 |
|
---|
| 96 | help.presentationpreferencestitle=<h3>Presentation preferences</h3>
|
---|
| 97 | help.presentationpreferences=<p>Depending on the particular collection, \
|
---|
| 98 | there may be several options you can set that control the presentation. </p> \
|
---|
| 99 | <p>Collections of Web pages allow you to suppress the Greenstone navigation bar at the top of each document page, \
|
---|
| 100 | so that once you have done a search you land at the exact Web page that matches without any Greenstone header. \
|
---|
| 101 | To do another search you will have to use your browser's "back" button. These collections also allow you to suppress \
|
---|
| 102 | Greenstone's warning message when you click a link that takes you out of the digital library collection and on to the \
|
---|
| 103 | Web itself. And in some Web collections you can control whether the links on the search results page take you straight \
|
---|
| 104 | to the actual URL in question, rather than to the digital library's copy of the page. </p>
|
---|
| 105 |
|
---|
| 106 | help.searchpreferencestitle=<h2>Search preferences</h2>
|
---|
| 107 | help.searchpreferences1=<p>You can switch to an "advanced" query mode which allows you to combine terms \
|
---|
| 108 | using & (for "and"), | (for "or"), and ! (for "not"), using parentheses for \
|
---|
| 109 | grouping if desired. This allows you to specify more precise queries. </p>\
|
---|
| 110 | <p>It is possible to get a large query box, so that you can easily do paragraph-sized searching. \
|
---|
| 111 | It is surprisingly quick to search for large amounts of text. </p>\
|
---|
| 112 |
|
---|
| 113 | help.searchpreferences2=<p>You can turn on the search history feature, which shows you your last few \
|
---|
| 114 | queries. This makes it easy to repeat slightly modified versions of previous queries.</p> \
|
---|
| 115 | <p>Finally, you can control the number of hits returned, and the \
|
---|
| 116 | number presented on each screenful.</p>
|
---|
| 117 |
|
---|
| 118 | help.mgsearchpreferences=<p>A pair of buttons controls whether upper and lower case must match when searching. \
|
---|
| 119 | For example, if "ignore case differences" is selected, snail farming will be treated the same as Snail Farming and SNAIL FARMING. </p>
