Eric Myers: how to search the wiki

how to search the wiki

New page

You can easily find whatever you might be looking for using the '''search box''' in the '''sidebar''' at the left of every page.

There are two search buttons, labeled '''Go''' and '''Search''', and they give you slightly different results.

== Go Button ==
When you use the '''Go''' button you will be taken directly to an article of the name you entered in the search box.

The '''Go''' button is case-'''sensitive'''.

If an article of that name does not exist, you will be given a link which lets you create it. ''and'' you will automatically get a search for that text, as if you had pressed the ''Search'' button.

== Search Button ==
Pressing the '''Search''' button will search through the wiki in two different ways. ''It's not like Google!''.

# First you get a listing of matches to article '''titles'''.
# Then you get a listing of matches to '''text in the body''' of articles.

The '''Search''' button is case-''insensitive''

== Hints ==

* The ''Search'' button will always give you a search.

* The ''Go'' button gives you a search only if an article of that exact name does not exist, and in that case you'll also get a link which lets you create the article.

* If you press the '''Return''' key on your keyboard it's the same as pressing the ''Go'' button with the mouse, not the ''Search'' button.
