- WINGINE is a full text search engine. This means that you can search a
- file for any text contained therein. Unlike some dos utilities, WINGINE
- allows you to enter up to 25 "AND" comparisons, and an additional 25 that
- can be used as "NOT" or "OR". To search files, you arrange them in groups
- and then search these groups. This may seem a little burdensome at first,
- but it speeds up the actual searches plus gives you control over what files
- are going to be searched.
-
- GROUPS
- First, from the group menu, choose contents to set up your groups. If
- you would like to give each group a title, you can do so from the group
- title selection.
-
- SEARCHING
- To search a group, choose search from the menu bar. You can type your
- criteria in the two text boxs. Seperate words in each box to create an
- "AND" search string.
-
- i.e.
- "EXCEL FONT SIZE" or "EXCEL FONT ATTRIBUTE"
-
- would result in a search through the groups that you have selected, that
- would limit the finds to files with the words EXCEL, FONT, and SIZE or
- files that had EXCEL, FONT, and ATTRIBUTE. Wingine ignores upper and lower
- case. The words do not have to be in order, but can be located any where
- throughout the file.
-
-
- COMMON FILE
- If you find that you are searching for the same information all of the time,
- you can copy that file, or section of the file to the common file. You
- can then search only the common file, which will result in faster search
- times.
-
-
- FUTURE VERSIONS
- There are future version forseeable if there is a need, want for them.
- Some Ideas for the next version:
-
- Larger File Size : When searching a regular file, Wingine has the same
- size limitation that NOTEPAD has. This is a 64k
- string size, which may or may no be the same as
- the file size.
- Filters : Filters for Word Processors and the like. It will
- now read those files, but if you try and display
- them, it shows the formatting characters as garbage.
- HighLiting : The search criteria will be highlighted in the
- text when zoomed on.
