<div class="region">
<div class="contents"><p class="p">There are two search functions. The quick search field is in the toolbar, and allows
	to highlight search terms in the current station list. The cache search is available
	through the <span class="guiseq"><span class="gui">Edit</span> ▸ <span class="gui">Search</span></span> menu instead and provides more details.</p></div>
<div id="cachesearch" class="sect"><div class="inner">
<div class="hgroup"><h2 class="title"><span class="title">Dialog options</span></h2></div>
<div class="region"><div class="contents">
<p class="p">You can get to the search dialog via <span class="guiseq"><span class="gui">Edit</span> ▸ <span class="gui">Find</span></span> or <span class="key"><kbd>Ctrl</kbd></span>+<span class="key"><kbd>F</kbd></span>. Centrally to this dialog is the
	text field, where you can specify the phrase to scan for.</p>
<p class="p">Above you can check which channel plugins to inspect for the search term. Using this
	allows to limit the search to specific radio station directories, but usually you want
	to search them all.</p>
<p class="p">Below the search phrase text box, you can specifiy which station fields to look
	into. Often you just want to search the titles of radio stations. But you can also
	have the search occour in the description/playing fields. Alternatively you could
	just search the homepage links.</p>
</div></div>

<div id="methods" class="sect"><div class="inner">
<div class="hgroup"><h2 class="title"><span class="title">Search methods</span></h2></div>
<div class="region"><div class="contents">
<p class="p">Lastly, there are three search methods. You mostly want to use the <span class="gui">cache search</span>,
	which just scans through the station lists streamtuner2 has downloaded. Since you are mostly
	looking for something you had already seen, this will give you the desired results.</p>
<p class="p">The <span class="gui">server search</span> would try to do a live search on the directory servers,
	providing you with the most recent data. However, it's not implemented for all channel
	plugins, and therefore brings limited output.</p>
<p class="p">Use the button <span class="gui">google it</span> as last resort, if streamtuner2 didn't find anything.</p>

<div class="region"><div class="contents"><p class="p">Just enter text into the quick search box. Streamtuner2 will instantly highlight
	any matches in the current stations view. If you switch tabs, just click the glass icon
	to reapply the highlighting.</p></div></div>
