Tips on Performing a Full Text Search
To search for a natural language phrase, select the Search tab, type the phrase in the Find: text box, then press Enter.

The JavaHelp search engine uses the following two techniques to score passages of text in the help topics as answers to your query.
Technique | Description |
Relaxation Ranking | Your query is compared with occurrences of the same or related terms in the help topics. The search engine attempts to find passages in the help topics in which as many as possible of the query terms occur in the same form and the same order.

The search engine assigns lower rankings to the passages depending on how they deviate from your query. Tip: To improve the ranking process, include as much information in your query as possible. |
Morphing | The JavaHelp search engine finds words with common roots. For example, if you type the word "manage" in the Find: textbox, matches that contain "managed", "management", "manages", and "managing" are also returned. Note: In version 1.0 of JavaHelp, morphing is used only when the help system language is English. |
