  <li>search for particular words

<p>You can <i>search for particular words</i> that appear in the text from the
"search" page. This is the first page that comes up when you begin, and can be
reached from other pages by pressing the <i>search</i> button.

<p>You can <i>access publications by title</i> by pressing the <i>titles a-z</i>
button.  This brings up a list of books in alphabetic order.<br>  

<p>You can <i>access publications by subject</i> by pressing the <i>subjects</i>
button.  This brings up a list of subjects, represented by bookshelves.<br>

<p>Below the photograph are three buttons.  Click on <i>detach</i> to make a

books, or read two at once.)  Click on <i>expand contents</i> to expand out the
whole table of contents so that you can see the titles of all chapters and
subsections.  Click on <i>expand text</i> to expand out the whole text of the
current section, or book.  If the book is large, this could take a long time
and use a lot of memory!

<h2>How to search for particular words</h2>


<p>

  From the search page, you make a query in these simple steps:<p>
  
  <ol><li>Specify what documents you want to search
      <li>Say whether you want to search for all or just some of the words
      <li>Type in the words you want to search for
      <li>Click the <i>Begin Search</i> button
  </ol>

<p>When you make a query, the titles of ten matching documents will be shown.
There is a button at the end to take you on to the next ten documents.  From
there you will find buttons to take you on to the third ten or back to the
first ten, and so on.  Click the title of any document, or the little button
beside it, to see it.

<p>A maximum of 50 is imposed on the number of
  documents returned.  You can change this number by clicking the
  <i>preferences</i> button at the top of the page.<p>

<p>
<a name=query-terms>
_iconblankbar_<br>

<h3>Search terms</h3>

<p>The stuff that you type into the query box is interpreted as a list of words
called "search terms."  Each term contains nothing but alphabetic characters
and digits.  Terms are separated by white space.  If any other characters such
as punctuation appear, they serve to separate terms just as though they were
spaces.  And then they are ignored.  You can't search for words that include
punctuation.

<p>For example, the query<p>
    <ul><kbd>Agro-forestry in the Pacific Islands: Systems for Sustainability (1993)</kbd></ul>
      <p>will be treated the same as<p>
      <ul><kbd>Agro forestry in the Pacific Islands  Systems for Sustainability  1993 </kbd></ul><p>
<p>
<a name=query-type>
_iconblankbar_<br>

<h3>Query type</h3>

<p><ul>There are two different kinds of query.<p>

  <li>Queries for <b>all</b> of the words.  These look for chapters (or
      titles) that 
      contain all the words you have specified.  Documents that satisfy the
      query are displayed, in alphabetical order.<p>

  <li>Queries for <b>some</b> of the words.  Just list some terms that are
      likely to appear in the documents you are looking for.  Documents are
      displayed in order of how closely they match the query.  When determining

      the degree of match,

      <p><ul>
        <li> the more search terms a document contains, the closer it matches;
        <li> rare terms are more important than common ones;
        <li> short documents match better than long ones.
      </ul>

      <p>Use as many search terms as you like--a whole sentence, or even a
      whole paragraph.  If you specify only
      one term, documents will be ordered by its frequency of occurrence.<p>
      
</ul>

<p>
<a name=other-options><a name=scope-of-queries>
_iconblankbar_<br>

<h3 align=left>Scope of queries</h3>

<p>
You can choose the "granularity" at which your search is done, that
is, the size of the text against which the query is matched.
You can choose <i>title</i> or
<i>chapter</i>.

<p>Regardless of how you search, the results are always displayed in terms of a
complete book, opened at the appropriate place.

<p>
<a name=stemming>
_iconblankbar_<br>


<h3 align=left>Case sensitivity and stemming</h3>

<p>When you click the <i>preferences</i> button at the top of the page you will
see two pairs of buttons that control the case sensitivity and stemming of your
queries. The first set of buttons controls whether upper and lower case must
match (case sensitivity).  The second set controls whether to ignore word
endings or not (stemming).

For example, if the buttons <i>ignore case differences</i> and
<i>ignore word endings</i> are selected, the query<p>
    <ul><kbd>African building</kbd></ul>
      <p>will be treated the same as<p>
      <ul><kbd>africa builds</kbd></ul><p>
      because the uppercase letter in "African" will be transformed to
      lowercase, and  the suffixes "n" and "ing" will be removed from
      "African" and "building" respectively (also, "s" would be removed from
      "builds").
