Possibilities of use
The product can be used anywhere where a user needs to work with a number of files in Director or Authorware and wants to use them for fulltext searching. The fulltext searching enables a user to find a desired concrete term (a word). In the fulltext searching it is possible, thanks to logical operators, search articles (chapters, documents, links) that contain:
• one or more searched words
• several searched words together
• a certain word but never in combination with another, this time not acceptable,word
• given words among which there is a relation (they are located close to one another in the text)
• given words and their derivations (all words beginning with the identical group of letters)
• given words and similar words (useful when , for example, we don´t know the exact structure of a foreign
word or if there is a group of letters that changes in the middle of relative words)
• phrases
Fulltext index creation
To be able to do fulltext browsing it is necessary first to create a fulltext index.The fultext index of dmmFTS.x32 is represented by a special file, with fts extension. With dmmFTS.x32 it is possible to get the following types of indexers for fulltext index generation. The indexers differs depending on type of the input files.
Fulltext searching use
If you,using the indexer, created a fulltext index, that is saved, for example in demo.fts, this fts file and the library XTRA dmmFTS.x32 are then enough for all the later work in Director or Authorware.
