Help On NCSA Mosaic Keyword Search

http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/hilfe/docview-keyword-search.html (Einblicke ins Internet, 10/1995)

NCSA Mosaic allows keyword searches of searchable documents or information sources (e.g., WAIS servers, searchable Gopher nodes, and specialized query servers). The keyword search field can only be used when the Document View window is being used to view a searchable document; else, the field will be insensitive and the "Search Keyword" label will be greyed out.

Some people like to have keyboard input focus transferred to the keyword search field automatically upon encountering a searchable document or server. If you're one of those people, consider setting the warpPointerForIndex X resource to 'true'.

If The Keyword Search Field Doesn't Work For You...

It appears as though there is a serious problem with certain versions of Motif that make the keyword search text field impossible to type into. If this happens to you, see here for more information.

Searching Within a Document

If you want to search for a keyword or term inside a document you have already retrieved, then you want to use the document search dialog box accessible from the File menu; more information is here.
