Tool Bar
Above is the tool bar that appears at the top of the Wilma desktop
display on a Macintosh computer. The format will be different on
Windows or Linux, but the elements still work the same. Starting
from the left:
Index Selector |
Quickly select the current index from this drop down menu that
lists all of your indexes.
|
Quick Find |
Enter the words or search phrase you wish to select files with.
This is identical to the "Contains" field of the
search dialog. If additional constraints
have been selected in the search dialog, text in the quick find
field will appear red as a warning.
|
Search Dialog |
The downward facing triangle to the right of the quick find field
will bring up the
search dialog when it is clicked. This
will allow you to refine your search by limiting files to specific
file names, folder paths, sizes, etc. It also allows you to choose
to use regular expressions and
referrals to other indexes.
Control F (Command F on the Mac) on the keyboard can be used as
a shortcut.
|
Expand/Compress |
Toggle the display of output in the contents pane
between showing all the text in the selected file (a minus will
appear in the button) or just showing the lines that have words
matching the search phrase (a plus sign will appear in the button).
The plus or minus keyboard keys can be used as shortcuts
|
Font |
This will some day bring up a dialog allowing you to control the
fonts used for displaying the file list and the file contents, but
is currently just a placeholder.

facing triangle).
The keyboard left arrow can be used as a shortcut
