Last change on this file since 13316 was 13040, checked in by kjdon, 18 years ago

moved some macros from english2.dm to english.dm - they are ones to do with the buttons on the home page, which I think are important enough to go into the main macro file

8# This is the main macro file for translation when creating an
9# interface in another language.
10
11# Under the 'text macros' comments are text macros of the form:
12# _macroname_ {macro value}
13# Everything between the {} is the text to be translated. This text
14# may itself contain macros (i.e. characters other than space between
15# underscore characters, e.g. _about:numdocs_ or _textpage_). These
16# macro names occurring within text shouldn't be translated but should
17# be left as they are. Underscores or curly brackets occurring
18# naturally within the text should be escaped with a leading backslash
19# (i.e. '\_', '\{' or '\}).
20#
21# Comment lines (other than those described above) need not be
22# translated (i.e. any lines beginning with '#', like this line).
23#
24# The simplest way to translate this file is to save it as something
25# else (e.g. french.dm) and work through translating all the text
26# macro values and icon comments.

614<p>Whatever you type into the query box is interpreted as a list of words or phrases
615called "search terms." A term is a single word containing only letters and digits, or a phrase consisting of a sequence of words enclosed in double quotes ("..."). Terms are separated by white space. If any other characters such
616as punctuation appear, they serve to separate terms just as though they were
617spaces. And then they are ignored. You can't search for words that include
618punctuation.
619
620<p>For example, the query<p>
621 <ul><kbd>Agro-forestry in the Pacific Islands: Systems for Sustainability (1993)</kbd></ul>

636For collections built with Lucene a few other options are available.
637
638<ul>
639<li><b>?</b> can be used as a wildcard in place of a single letter. For example, <b>b?t</b> will match <b>bet</b>, <b>bit</b> and <b>bat</b> etc.
640<li><b>*</b> can be used as a wildcard in place of multiple letters. For example, <b>comput*</b> matches all words starting with <b>comput</b>.
641</ul>
642Both of these wildcards can be used in the middle of a term, or at the end. They cannot be used at the start of a search term.
643}

645_texthelpquerytypetitle_ {Query type}
646_texthelpquerytype_ {
647<p>There are two different kinds of query.
648
649<ul>
650 <li>Queries for <b>all</b> of the words. These look for documents (or
651 chapters, or titles) that contain all the words you have specified.
652 Documents that satisfy the query are displayed, in build order.
653<p>
654
655 <li>Queries for <b>some</b> of the words. Just list some terms that are
656 likely to appear in the documents you are looking for. Documents are
657 displayed in order of how closely they match the query. When determining
658 the degree of match,
659
660 <p><ul>
661 <li> the more search term occurrences a document contains, the closer it matches;
662 <li> terms which are rare in the collection as a whole are more important than common ones;
663 <li> short documents match better than long ones.
664 </ul>
665</ul>
666
667<p>Use as many search terms as you like--a whole sentence, or even a
668whole paragraph. If you specify only
669one term, documents will be ordered by its frequency of occurrence.<p>

676}
677
678_texthelpadvsearchmg_ {
679Advanced searching in MG collections gives you two options, ranked and boolean.
680A <b>ranked</b> search is exactly the same as the <b>some</b> search descibed in <a href="\#query-type">_texthelpquerytypetitle_</a>.
681<p>_texthelpbooleansearch_
682}
683
684_texthelpbooleansearch_ {
685A <b>boolean</b> search allows you to combine terms
686using & (for "and"), | (for "or"), and ! (for "not"), using parentheses for grouping if desired. The default operator is | (for "or").
687<p>
688For example, <b>snail & farming</b> will match documents which contain both <b>snail</b> AND <b>farming</b>, whereas <b>snail | farming</b> will match documents that contain either <b>snail</b> OR <b>farming</b>.
689<b>snail !farming</b> will match documents that contain <b>snail</b> AND DO NOT contain <b>farming</b>.
690<p>
691More precise queries can be specified using combinations of operators and parentheses. For example, <b>(sheep | cattle) & (farm | station)</b>, or <b>sheep | cattle | goat !pig</b>.
692}
693
694_texthelpadvsearchmgpp_ {
695Advanced searches in MGPP collections use boolean operators. _texthelpbooleansearch_
696<p>The results can be displayed in <b>ranked</b> order, as described for the <b>some</b> search in <a href="\#query-type">_texthelpquerytypetitle_</a>, or in "natural" (or "build") order. This is the order that documents were processed during the creation of the collection.
697<p>
698Further operators include <b>NEARx</b> and <b>WITHINx</b>.
699NEARx is used to specify the maximum distance apart (x words) two query
700terms must be for a document to match.
701WITHINx specifies that the second term must occur within x words <i>after</i> the first term. This is similar to NEAR but the order is important. The default distance is 20.

710_texthelpformsearchtitle_ {Fielded searching}
711
712_texthelpformsearch_ {
713<p>Fielded searching provides the opportunity to combine searches across fields. For example, one can search for "Smith" in Title AND "snail farming" in Subject. In simple query mode, each line of the form behaves like a normal single line search. The individual lines of the form are combined using AND (for an "all" search) or OR (for a "some" search). Terms inside the field are also combined the same way. In advanced mode, you can specify different combinations of AND/OR/NOT between the fields using the drop-down lists, and inside a field you can use boolean operators.
714}
715
716_texthelpformstemming_ {The "fold" and "stem" boxes allow you to specify whether the terms inside that field are casefolded or stemmed. These are both switched off by default for advanced form searching.}

718_textdatesearch_ {Searching with Dates}
719
720_texthelpdatesearch_ {
721Date search lets you find documents that, as well as matching your search
722terms, are about events within a certain timeframe. You can search for
723documents from a certain year or from a range of years. Note that you do not
724have to have any search terms -- you can search by date alone; and also that
725you do not have to use dates in your search, if you do not type any dates in it
726 is just the same as if the date search didn't exist.<p>

729_texthelpdatehowtotitle_ {How to use this feature:}
730_texthelpdatehowto_ {
731<ul>
732 <li>To search for documents about a single year:<p>
733 <ul>
734 <li>Type in any ordinary search terms as you normally would.
735 <li>Type the year you want into the "Start (or only) date" box.
736 <li>If your date is from before the common era (also known as before
737 Christ), choose the "B.C.E" option from the pulldown menu next to that
738 box.
739 <li>Begin your search as you ordinarily would.

741<p><li>To search for documents about a time period or range of years:<p>

752
753_texthelpdateresultstitle_ {The way results of your search work}
754_texthelpdateresults_ {
755Generally speaking a search for documents about the year 1903 will not return documents that, say, reference books written in 1903, just documents about 1903. However, the way that the documents' dates are found, it will return documents that have a date range (for example 1899-1911) that includes 1903, and also those documents which, as part of their text name the century that 1903 is a part of (for example 20th century or twentieth century). This means that for some documents, the dates in your search will not actually appear in the document text. For a range search, all of this applies to every date in the range.<p>

778a different encoding scheme to ensure correct character display.
779All collections allow you to
780switch from the standard graphical interface format to a textual one. This

786_texthelppresentationprefs_ {
787Depending on the particular collection, there may be several options you can

790<p>Collections of Web pages allow you to suppress the Greenstone navigation bar at
791the top of each document page, so that once you have done a search you land at
792the exact Web page that matches without any Greenstone header. To do another
793search you will have to use your browser's "back" button. These collections
794also allow you to suppress Greenstone's warning message when you click a link
795that takes you out of the digital library collection and on to the Web itself.
796And in some Web collections you can control whether the links on the "Search
