<!-- The introduction chapter contains a brief introduction for the
application that explains what it does and where to report
problems. Basically a long version of the abstract. Don't include a
revision history. (see installation appendix comment) -->
<para>
&tdeio-locate; is a KDE I/O Slave for the locate command.
</para>
<para>
This means that you can use &tdeio-locate; by simply typing in konquerors address box. You can e.g. type <command>locate:index.html</command> to find all files that contain "index.html" in their name.
</para>
<para>
There's even more: You can use &tdeio-locate; in all TDE applications that accept URLs.
</para>
<para>
To find out more about &tdeio-locate; and to look for new versions, you should take a look at <ulink url="http://arminstraub.de">arminstraub.de</ulink>.

<chapter id="using-tdeio-locate">
<title>How to use this?</title>
<para>
You can use &tdeio-locate; mostly as you use locate. Instead of typing <command>locate pattern</command> at a command prompt, you start the search with &tdeio-locate; directly in konqueror. You just enter <command>locate:pattern</command> as the address.
</para>
<para>
By default, a search <command>locate:pattern</command> is case insensitive if the pattern is lowercase. If the pattern is mixed- or uppercase the search is case sensitive. This default behaviour can be overridden.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>Hint:</emphasis> Type <command>locater:config</command> in the konqueror address bar to show the configuration dialog. Likewise, <command>locater:help</command> shows this help document.
</para>
<sect1 id="tdeio-locate-patterns">
<title>How to write patterns</title>
<para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Regular wildcard characters may be used in the patterns passed to &tdeio-locate;: A star (*) matches any string with nonzero length, a question mark (?) matches a single character, and a character list ([abc-z]) matches the characters in the list. A character list can be inverted by putting a caret after the first square bracket ([^abc-z]).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Every plus (+) in a search is used just as a star (*) is. Instead of <command>locate:*.html</command> you may also type <command>locate:+.html</command>. This is because you can't use the star in konqueror. In other apps both ways are supported.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Should you need to use a plus in your search you have to escape it with a backslash. Instead of <command>locate:g++</command> you have to use <command>locate:g\+\+</command>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Furthermore you can't use a slash as the last character of your query. O.k. you can, but KDE will ignore it. In such a case you can quote your pattern: Write <command>locate:"servicemenus/"</command> rather than <command>locate:servicemenus/</command>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>A search as e.g. <command>locate:~/*.doc</command> works as you might expect. This means that <command>~/</command> and <command>~user/</command> are expanded correctly at the beginning of the pattern.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>You may add a filtering pattern after the first pattern, e.g. <command>locate:fish home</command> results in all files whose path contains fish AND home.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>A filtering pattern may be inverted by prefixing it with an exclamation mark. E.g. <command>locate:fish !home</command> results in all files whose path contains fish AND NOT home.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Any number of filtering patterns may be used.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>With <command>locate:</command> wildcard matching is performed with all patterns. If you're a regular expression guru, you might want to use <command>rlocate:</command>, which enables regexp matching for all filtering patterns (that is: all patterns except the first one).</para></listitem>
