DESCRIPTION

Keywords are entered in the "Keywords:" text box, and they can be searched in different ways by selecting the appropriate radio button (viz. PHRASE, ALL,SOME, NONE or by using REGULAR EXPRESSIONS). The "Locate" button calls the"grep" command and displays the results of the grep in a text window. Theuser can choose to save the results of the grep by clicking the "save" button in the text window.
TUTORIAL
First you must specify the keywords which you intend to search by typingit out in the text box labelled "Keywords". The keywords can be searchedas an "exact Phrase", All(AND), Some(OR), None(NOT), or as a RegularExpression. The mode of searching has to be specified by clicking theappropriate radio button. The default mode is "Phrase".Nest, you should specify the file or directory which yo have to search.This can be done by either typing it's value in the "Look In" text box, orby using the file browser which is activated on clicking the"Browse..." button. You can choose to do a recursive search in thesubdirectories by selecting the "Look in subdirectories" checkbox.Selecting the "Ignore case" checkbox causes checking for case(Capital and small alphabets). The line number containing the search pattern can bedisplayed by checking the "Show line number" checkbox. The context of thegrep can be specified by using the spin-buttons. The number of lines to bedisplayed before and after the matching pattern is found are specifiedusing these spin-buttons.You may use the ~ (tilde) character to specify a user's directory, as youwould in the shell. For example,
~will search your home directory, and
~/srcwill search the directory src under your home directory.Similarly,
~rohitwill search the home directory of user rohit, if you have thepermissions though ;-)
