Searching an index

The WWW application allows you to serach a remote index or database.

A searchable object is represented as a normal document, but you will notice the search panel appears whenever the document in the main window is such an object.

Whenever the serach panel is visible, you may fill in text if your query. This may be one or several words, or a query expressed in some language. Use a few keywords unless instructions in the searchable document explain otherwise.

Press return, or clickon the "Search" button. A document is returned which has been generated by the remote server. Often, this contains pointers to other documents which match your query. In other cases, it contains the inormation you want in the document itself.
