| Compared to the use of [...], this system is less precise ([...] allows you to specify exactly what you are looking for). It might be more exhaustive in some cases. It's however dependent on the quality of JSesh sign descriptions. The current information about variant is still very lacunar - sign descriptions require a lot of work. | Compared to the use of [...], this system is less precise ([...] allows you to specify exactly what you are looking for).

| + | Any kind of recorded variants will be used, as well as variants of variants. It is expected that a more precise system will be implemented at some point. | ||

| + | ===== Search in non-hieroglyphic texts ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Search is no longer restricted to the hieroglyphs. If you have typed translation or transliterations, you can search them too... | ||
| + | |||
| + | Select **search in alphabetic texts**... | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ :doc:en:textsearch.png?nolink |Selection of type of search}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Then type your text (search will disregard case) : | ||
| + | {{ :doc:en:searchamon.png?nolink |Searching for non-hieroglyphic texts}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Search in folders ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | This is a very powerful feature of JSesh : it can search in all the glyph files contained in a folder (and its sub-folders). In a way, you can use your texts (including translations typed in JSesh) as a kind of rough linguistic database. | ||
| + | To use this function, use the menu **Edit/Find in Folder**. Then select the "root" folder for your search. | ||
| + | In the example below, I'm looking for attestation of Atum, using a fairly generic wildcard. Note the use of [...] to include variant signs (some possible determinatives are however missing in this search, I leave it to the interested reader as an exercice). Also note the length I have set to limit the //false positive// results. Remember that this length includes the whole result, not only the part skipped over by the "*". | ||

| + | Once the search is started, the occurrences will appear in the list below the search form. Double-clicking on an occurrence will open the corresponding document. | ||
