CATALOG/SEARCH FOR
==================

  The following functions allow searching specific entries within a
  catalogue and after that processing these via ENTRIES/DETECTED...

  Graphic names will be displayed as black typing on blue background
  for correctly identified matches. Should the entry also be marked,
  the filename is displayed as white typing on black background.
  So when browsing through the catalogue it's possible to visually
  check whether entries have been found and/or marked.


  * match patterns
    --------------

      This is the most powerful search function. It allows free definition
      of search patterns of which up to three may be conjuncted logically.
      It works as follows:

      First select the area to be scanned within the LISTVIEW
      (screenname, colour depth, graphics type, etc.)
      After that the operator to be applied is selected for the search.
      After that the text to be searched for can be entered within the
      string gadget. Please follow these steps:

                -> Using the "=" operator the use of wildcards is allowed.
                   These will not be applicable to numeric entries 
                   (like file size, date, etc.)

                -> For entering dates the following format is used:
                   DD/MM/YYYY

      After having specified the search pattern either
      the search may be started or new search patterns may be added.
      Up to three may be logically conjuncted.

      Wildcards:   With the "=" operator the use of wildcards is allowed.
                   The following are supported:

                   --> ?PATTERN   All entries, which contain
                                  "PATTERN" as a substring somewhere.

                   --> PATTERN?   All entries, which begin with "PATTERN".

      The buttons have the following functions:

      SEARCH     Searches entries by a previously defined search pattern.
                 Entries which have already been found will then be lost.
      NEW        Erases a search pattern and allows redefinition of it.
      CANCEL     Leaves the menu without starting a search.


       -> Examples for search patterns:
          =============================

         a)             PICTURENAME=FANTASY?
                                              AND
                        DEPTH=6
                                              AND
                        PATH=WORK:?

           Searches for all graphics, which are named beginning with
           fantasy and contain six bitplanes. These also have to be
           stored on volume WORK:

         b)             DEPTH=4
                                          AND
                        FRAMES>1
                                          AND
                        GRAPHICSTYPE=IFF

           Searches all IFF animation's with a depth of four bitplanes.


         c)             GRAPHICSTYPE=GIF
                                          OR
                        GRAPHICSTYPE=JPEG

           Searches for all GIF and JPEG graphics.


         d)             PICTURENAME>F
                                          AND
                        DATE>10/05/1994
                                          AND
                        WIDTH>=640

           Searches all graphics which are named with a first letter
           above "F" and have been created later than 10.5.94.
           The width has be larger than or equal to 640.


  * duplicate entries
    -----------------

      All duplicate entries from the catalogue will be displayed.
      


  * missing entries
    ---------------

      All graphics which are no longer physically present on the
      volume will be displayed.



  NOTE:  Searching will overwrite previously found entries!
