Using the Search

The search applet is based on the Lucene Project from Apache (see http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/index.html). Lucene accepts "*" and "?" as wildcards, but they must not be at the start of the string. For more information, see Search Engine Query Syntax, or click Help in the Java applet.

To deactivate active content warnings in IE, select the option Allow active content to run in files on My Computer from Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Security.

To activate the Java applet in Mozilla Firefox, click Tools > Options, click Content, and then ensure that the Enable Java and Enable JavaScript check boxes are selected.

There is also a FAQ on the Lucene site for further information. See http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/LuceneFAQ.

The search applet has been customized for JRules to:

Provide an option to sort the search results by scope. To use this feature, select the check box labelled Search results by scope, enter your search string, and then click Search. If the Search results by scope check box is left unchecked, the results will be sorted by relevance.
Apply the search on a single section. To search a single section, select the name of the section you want to search in the drop-down menu in the applet, enter your search string, and then click Search.
Exclude the JRules API from the search. To search all of the sections with the exclusion of the API, select All content except the JRules API in the drop-down menu in the applet, enter your search string, and then click Search.

By default, the scope of the search is set to include all of the sections, that is, All content in the drop-down menu. The search results are listed in order of relevance.
