Users can also utilize the input box (located at the left edge of the screen with the two buttons labeled "'''''Go'''''" and "'''''Search'''''" beneath it) to search through the entire '''STNE-Wiki''' for a specific word or phrase.  Simply enter a desired word or phrase, and click either input button; the search function will provide a list of page titles and page text selections which most closely match the search term used.  The same search function is also accessible through the [[Special:Search|Search]] page.

===Hints for using the ''Search'' box===
-
Um den Artikelbestand des STNE-Wiki zu durchsuchen, gibt es (standardmäßig links vom Textfenster) ein Eingabefeld mit zwei Buttons, ''Los'' und ''Suche.''
+
* '''At least one search word must be present.''' All pages which contain at least one of the search words will be listed - ''exactly'' as it was entered.  If no results are returned, the user should determine if the search terms were correctly written. Portions of words are not included in the results, e.g. a search for "role" will not provide hits on articles which contain only the word "roleplay".
-
Gibt man dort das gesuchte Wort ein und drückt die '''Eingabetaste''' oder den ''Los''-Button, landet man im besten Fall direkt beim gleichnamigen Artikel. Deshalb muss man aufpassen. Der ''Suche''-Button dagegen zeigt alle Vorkommen des gesuchten Begriffs in Artikeltiteln und Texten. Diese Suchfunktion ist auch über die Seite [[Spezial:Search|Suche]] zugänglich.
+
* '''Avoid short and common words.''' A missed search might occur if the search term contains so-called stop words (e.g. "the", "a", "more", "over", "when"). The search should be repeated without including these stop words.
 +
* '''The search function does not differentiate between upper and lower case letters.''' For the search term "duranium", both "Duranium" and "DURANIUM" would be also be included in the results.  
 +

===Hints for narrowing ''Search'' box parameters===
-
To allow users to search through the entire '''STNE-Wiki''' for a specific word or phrase, an input box with two buttons labelled "'''''Go'''''" and "'''''Search'''''" beneath it is located at the left edge of the screen.  If one enters a desired word or phrase in that box, and then presses either input button, the search function will provide a list of page titles and page text selections which most closely match the search term.
+
* '''Only the [[:Help:Namespace|Mainspace]], the Scripting namespace, and the API namespace is scanned when using standard search parameters.''' Pages with the prefix titles "Players:", "Alliance:", "Folk:", "Talk:", etc., are not automatically included. Users may extend their search to include other [[:Help:Namespace|namespaces]] (player, alliance, images, etc. with their associated discussion pages) by selecting one of the options listed below the search results.
-
 
+
* '''Boolean search is possible''' (search using logic function with the search words).  More complex search queries can be submitted by including delimiting words such as "AND" (and), "OR" (or), and "NOT" (not). '''If no such delimiters are indicated, "OR" is the default attribute used in searches.''' Thus, for example, a search for "Duranium NOT factory" will search all pages which contain the word, "Duranium", but not the word, "factory". A search for "Duranium AND (factory OR plant)" will show all articles which contain not only "Duranium", but also "factory" or "plant".
-
one lands directly in the best case with the article of the same name. Therefore one must watch out. That search button against it shows all occurrences of the looked for term in article titles and texts. This search function is accessible also over the side search.  
+
* '''Regular expressions ''cannot'' be used.'''
-
 
+
* '''Wildcards''' (substitute symbols which indicate multiple possibilities) can be used. Thus a search for "Duranium*" would display all pages which contain any word beginning with "Duranium", e.g. "Duraniumfabrik".

Ein paar Hinweise zur Benutzung der „Suche“-Box im STNE-Wiki:
+
-
* '''Mindestens ein Suchbegriff muss vorhanden sein.''' Es werden alle Seiten ausgegeben, die mindestens einen der Suchbegriffe ''exakt'' wie eingegeben enthalten. Erhält man keine Ergebnisse, empfiehlt sich zu prüfen, ob alles korrekt geschrieben ist. Teilwörter werden nicht als Ergebnis angezeigt: die Suche nach „Hydrolyse“ liefert keine Treffer auf Artikel, die lediglich das Wort „Hydrolysefabrik“ enthalten.
+
-
* '''Vermeiden Sie kurze und gebräuchliche Wörter.''' Eine mögliche Ursache einer fehlgeschlagenen Suche besteht darin, dass der Suchterm so genannte Stoppwörter enthielt (z. B. „der“, „ein“, „mehr“, „über“, „wann“). Die Suche sollte ohne diese Stoppwörter wiederholt werden.
+
-
* '''Die Suchfunktion unterscheidet nicht zwischen Groß- und Kleinschreibung.''' Die Suche nach „duranium“, „Duranium“ und „DURANIUM“ liefert immer das gleiche Ergebnis.
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
=== Hinweise, wie die Suche präzisiert werden kann ===
+
-
* '''Nur der Hauptnamensraum wird standardmäßig durchsucht.''' Seiten, deren Titel „Spieler:“, „Allianz:“, „Volk:“, „Diskussion:“ usw. enthalten, werden standardmäßig nicht in die Suche miteinbezogen. Über die '''erweiterte Suche,''' die sich unten auf der Seite mit den Suchergebnissen befindet, können aber auch andere Namensräume (Spieler, Allianz, Bild etc. und zugehörige Diskussionsseiten) durchsucht werden.
+
-
* '''Boolesche Suche ist möglich''' (Suche mit logischer Verknüpfung der Suchworte).  Mit Hilfe der Wörter „AND“ (und), „OR“ (oder) und „NOT“ (nicht) sowie durch Klammerung können komplexere Suchanfragen gestellt werden. '''Falls nichts angegeben wird, ist „OR“ die Standardeinstellung.''' So liefert beispielsweise eine Suche nach „Duranium NOT fabrik“ alle Seiten, die das Wort „Duranium“, aber nicht das Wort „fabrik“ enthalten. Die Suche nach „Duranium AND (fabrik OR anlage)“ zeigt alle Artikel, die nicht nur „Duranium“, sondern auch „fabrik“ oder „anlage“ enthalten.
+
-
* '''Reguläre Ausdrücke können ''nicht'' verwendet werden.
+
-
* '''Wildcards''' (Platzhalter für beliebige Zeichen) können verwendet werden. So liefert die Suche nach „Duranium*“ alle Seiten, die Worte beginnend mit „Duranium“ enthalten, also z. B. Duraniumfabrik.

Due to strong loads on the server, the internal search function of the '''STNE-Wiki''' might occasionally be deactivated. During such an event, external search engines such as ''Google'' can be used to conduct a search.  However, the wiki's "Go" button will always function. Searches using external search engines do not limit their searches to the [[:Help:Namespace|mainspace]], and they also ignore "stop words". However, the results of such searches might not reflect the latest information in the wiki. To search the '''STNE-Wiki''' with ''Google'' click here:

Wegen der starken Belastung des Servers kann zeitweise die Wiki-interne Suche deaktiviert werden. Stattdessen gibt es dann die Möglichkeit, über externe Suchmaschinen wie Google in den Wiki-Seiten zu suchen. Der ''Los''-Knopf funktioniert hingegen immer. Die Suche mit externen Suchmaschinen hat den Vorteil, dass diese alle Namensräume durchsuchen und Stoppwörter ignorieren. Es kann allerdings passieren, dass die Ergebnisse nicht dem aktuellen Stand entsprechen.Zur Suche im STNE-Wiki mit Google clicke hier:

Contents

Contents - search through a chapter-style listing

The (Table of) Contents is arranged similarly to that of a book. It is not designed to facilitate precise searches for specific terms. Rather, this rough classification of informational topics (e.g. trade, ships, colonies) provides a broad overview of the wiki, and a great starting point from which users can read further into their areas of interest.

The Contents listing can be accessed either in the navigation menu at the left edge of your screen or in the navigation bar found at the top of each page.

From A to Z - search through a keyword list

The keyword Index contains direct links to pages for buildings, ships, and other STNE components. It is alphabetically arranged - unlike the listing of contents.

This resource can be accessed in the navigation menu at the left edge of your screen (listed as "From A to Z"), or in the navigation bar found at the top of each page (listed as "Index").

Categories - search through a list of topics

All articles in the STNE Wiki are thematically classified according to topic. This becomes apparent through the use of named categories which one can find at the foot of any page. These categories also provide specific information about the articles they include - e.g. Category:Planet Classes, Category:Terraforming, Category:Warships, etc.

One can also find an alphabetically listed overview of all categories here: Special:Categories. This page can also be accessed in the toolbox menu at the left edge of your screen (listed as "Special pages"), which will lead to Categories in its Lists of Pages section.

Special pages - search with help from special wiki functions

Anyone searching for unusual or unique information in the STNE-Wiki should look at its special pages more closely. These pages provide a wide diversity of information - from blocked IP addresses and usernames, to lists of new and recently-edited articles, to various types of page overviews, and much more.

These pages can be accessed through the toolbox menu at the left edge of your screen (listed as "Special pages").

Search - use the wiki search function

Users can also utilize the input box (located at the left edge of the screen with the two buttons labeled "Go" and "Search" beneath it) to search through the entire STNE-Wiki for a specific word or phrase. Simply enter a desired word or phrase, and click either input button; the search function will provide a list of page titles and page text selections which most closely match the search term used. The same search function is also accessible through the Search page.

Hints for using the Search box

  • At least one search word must be present. All pages which contain at least one of the search words will be listed - exactly as it was entered. If no results are returned, the user should determine if the search terms were correctly written. Portions of words are not included in the results, e.g. a search for "role" will not provide hits on articles which contain only the word "roleplay".
  • Avoid short and common words. A missed search might occur if the search term contains so-called stop words (e.g. "the", "a", "more", "over", "when"). The search should be repeated without including these stop words.
  • The search function does not differentiate between upper and lower case letters. For the search term "duranium", both "Duranium" and "DURANIUM" would be also be included in the results.


Hints for narrowing Search box parameters

  • Only the Mainspace, the Scripting namespace, and the API namespace is scanned when using standard search parameters. Pages with the prefix titles "Players:", "Alliance:", "Folk:", "Talk:", etc., are not automatically included. Users may extend their search to include other namespaces (player, alliance, images, etc. with their associated discussion pages) by selecting one of the options listed below the search results.
  • Boolean search is possible (search using logic function with the search words). More complex search queries can be submitted by including delimiting words such as "AND" (and), "OR" (or), and "NOT" (not). If no such delimiters are indicated, "OR" is the default attribute used in searches. Thus, for example, a search for "Duranium NOT factory" will search all pages which contain the word, "Duranium", but not the word, "factory". A search for "Duranium AND (factory OR plant)" will show all articles which contain not only "Duranium", but also "factory" or "plant".
  • Regular expressions cannot be used.
  • Wildcards (substitute symbols which indicate multiple possibilities) can be used. Thus a search for "Duranium*" would display all pages which contain any word beginning with "Duranium", e.g. "Duraniumfabrik".


Search STNE-Wiki using Google

Due to strong loads on the server, the internal search function of the STNE-Wiki might occasionally be deactivated. During such an event, external search engines such as Google can be used to conduct a search. However, the wiki's "Go" button will always function. Searches using external search engines do not limit their searches to the mainspace, and they also ignore "stop words". However, the results of such searches might not reflect the latest information in the wiki. To search the STNE-Wiki with Google click here:
