There are several ways to find content on the FreewarWiki. This article attempts to provide an overview of the different search and search options.

== FreewarWiki-Search ==

To search the inventory of items FreewarWikis, there are on each side of a box with two buttons, '''article''' and '''search'''.
Is there there a search phrase and press the '''enter''' or the '''article'''-button, you will directly landing to the same article. Must therefore be careful. The ''Search''-Button other hand, shows all occurrences of the search term in article titles and texts. This search feature is also on the page [[Special:Search|Articlesearch]] available. Pressing the Enter key or the '''article'''-button, but there exists no item with that name, the same thing as pressing the button '''Search'''.

=== How to use the "Search"-Box ===

A few tips on using the "Search"-Box on each FreewarWiki page:
* '''At least one keyword must be present.''' It outputs all sides, at least one of the words ''exact'' included as input. If they get no results, it is advisable to check if everything is spelled correctly. Part words are not displayed as a result: the search for "ability" returns no hits on articles, which only the word "Character-Ability" contain.
* '''Avoid short and common words.''' A possible cause of a failed search is, that the search term so-called '''stop words''' contains (e.g. "the", "a", "more", "over", "when"). The search should be repeated without stop words.
* '''The search function is different in the full-text search is not case-sensitive.''' The search for "lunar wand ", "Lunar Wand " and "LUNAR WAND" always returns the same result. However type you in "Red Ring of defence" and click on the ''Article''-Button, so arrives to ''not'' on the Site "[[Red Ring of Defence]]"; every word must be written exactly.

=== References such as the search can be specified ===

* '''only the [[FreewarWiki:Namespaces|Namespace]] is searched by default.''' Pages whose title "FreewarWiki:", "User:" odr "Discussion:" included, are not included in the default search. About the'''Advanced Search,''' which is located at the bottom of the page with search results, however, other namespaces (FreewarWiki, User, Image and related Discussionssites) are scan. In the [[Special:Preferences|Wiki-Settings]] Registered Users can these namespaces by default also select to search.
* '''Boolean search is possible''' (Search with a logical link between the search words). With the help of the words "AND", "OR" and "NOT" and by bracketing can be made more complex search queries. '''If not specified, is "OR" the default setting.''' Thus provides, for example, a search for "Cellar NOT Buran" all Sites, the word "Cellar", but not contain the word Buran. The search for "Cellar AND (Cathedral OR House)" shows all articles that contain not only "cellar," but also "cathedral" or "house".
* '''Reguläre Ausdrücke können ''nicht'' verwendet werden.'''
* '''Wildcards can be used''' (Placeholder for any character). Thus, the search returns for "*capability" all pages that contain words ending with "capacity", eg both [[Character Ability]] and [[Special Power]].

=== Firefox-Searchplugin ===

[[Image:Firefox search plugin.jpg|thumb|239px|Das FreewarWiki-Searchplugin top right]]
Who uses the Web browser [[Firefox]], it can add value with a search plugin. It can be selected from a top-right list and look directly over the text box, type a term there. To install the plugin please follow [http://freewar.tiramon.de/search.php this Link] and choose "OK". <br style="clear:both;"

/>

== Browse by external search engines FreewarWiki ==

In addition to FreewarWiki internal search, it is possible to browse the FreewarWiki with external search engines. The search by external search engines has the added advantage that this search all namespaces and ignore stop words. It can happen, however, that the results do not represent the current state.
* '''[http://www.google.com/custom?sa=Google+Search&domains=fwwiki.org&sitesearch=fwwiki.org FreewarWiki search with Google]'''

== Alphabetical Index and Random articles ==

== Thematic entry ==

It currently offers itself as an entry point for a research topic the '''[[FreewarWiki:Portal|Mainportal]]''' on. Will you get an overview of a subject / topic and a related article, this can be done in several ways.
* Anybody can the appropriate '''Category''' view. The category pages are generated automatically. You list in alphabetical order, the date in the appropriate category-specific genre FreewarWiki article. The categorization is done in most articles about the use [[FreewarWiki:Templates|Template]], in a [[FreewarWiki:CategoryAdditional|additional category]] is an article by hand entered. As is the entry point into this structure [[:Category:General|Main Category]] serve. The current category in the tree can [[FreewarWiki:Category-Overview|Category-Overview]] considered to be.
** In these categories, there is always a '''Main Article''', the very beginning under the sorting point '''!''' displayed. It contains general information about a topic and lists mostly on all items in that category, which usually are sorted according to different criteria. These lists are, however, in contrast to the categories, manually or by [[FreewarWiki:Bot|Bots]] maintained and therefore may not be currently.
