8# This is the main macro file for translation when creating an
9# interface in another language.
[3879]10
[964]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.

[11767]691 Documents that satisfy the query are displayed, in build order.
692<p>
[876]693
694 <li>Queries for <b>some</b> of the words. Just list some terms that are
695 likely to appear in the documents you are looking for. Documents are

697 the degree of match,
698
699 <p><ul>
[12877]700 <li> the more search term occurrences a document contains, the closer it matches;
701 <li> terms which are rare in the collection as a whole are more important than common ones;
[876]702 <li> short documents match better than long ones.
703 </ul>

717_texthelpadvsearchmg_ {
718Advanced searching in MG collections gives you two options, ranked and boolean.

720<p>_texthelpbooleansearch_
721}
722
723_texthelpbooleansearch_ {
724A <b>boolean</b> search allows you to combine terms
[13426]725using &amp; (for "and"), | (for "or"), and ! (for "not"), using parentheses for grouping if desired. The default operator is | (for "or").
[11767]726<p>
[13426]727For example, <b>snail &amp; 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>.
[11767]728<b>snail !farming</b> will match documents that contain <b>snail</b> AND DO NOT contain <b>farming</b>.
729<p>
[13426]730More precise queries can be specified using combinations of operators and parentheses. For example, <b>(sheep | cattle) &amp; (farm | station)</b>, or <b>sheep | cattle | goat !pig</b>.
[11767]731}
732
733_texthelpadvsearchmgpp_ {
734Advanced searches in MGPP collections use boolean operators. _texthelpbooleansearch_
[14854]735<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. The latter is the order that documents were processed during the creation of the collection.
[11767]736<p>
737Further operators include <b>NEARx</b> and <b>WITHINx</b>.
[14854]738NEARx is used to specify the maximum distance (x words)
739which can separate two query terms for a document to match.
[11767]740WITHINx 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.

751_texthelpformsearch_ {
[12877]752<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.

[1500]794Generally 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).
