Search modes
|
|
|
|
* "Default" — This follows the [xapian search syntax](https://xapian.org/docs/queryparser.html). Note that phrase searching and NEAR operator needs `Enable index with positional information` enabled at settings.
|
|
* "Plain text" - mode like "Whole words" but every word in search line can be treated as word fragment.
|
|
* "Wildcards" - the search line contains a Unix-like template. Such template can contain wildcard symbols `?` (matches any one character), `*` (matches any character number) or ranges of characters `[...]` To find characters `?`, `*`, `[` and `]` it should be escaped by backslash like `\?`, `\*`, `\[`, `\]`.
|
|
|
|
"Available dictionaries in group" - here you can view how many dictionaries in the current group are suitable for full-text search, how many dictionaries already indexed and how many dictionaries wait for indexing.
|
|
|
|
When you place mouse cursor over headword in results list, the tooltip with dictionary list contains such articles matched the search conditions will be shown.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
The dictionary will index for full-text search in background and started immediately after program start, name of the currently indexing dictionary is displayed in the status line. This process can take a long time and require many computing resources.You may turn off indexing for huge dictionaries like Wikipedias or Wiktionaries in preferences. To find dictionary which can't be indexed check GoldenDict with `--log-to-file` or check `stdout`.
