<title>Searching</title>
<p>There are two search functions.</p>
<section id="quicksearch">
<title>Quick search</title>
<p>Just enter text into the quick search box atop. 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>
</section>
<section id="cachesearch">
<title>Search window</title>
<p>You can get to the search dialog via <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui>
<gui>Find</gui></guiseq> or <key>Ctrl</key>+<key>F</key>. Centrally
to this dialog is a text field, where you can specify the phrase
to scan for.</p>
<media src="img/search.png" type="image" mime="image/png" />
<p>It either will search in:</p>
<list>
<item><p><gui>☐ all channels</gui></p></item>
<item><p><gui>☒ last active channel/service.</gui>
(You therefore want to switch channel tabs before
invoking this search mode.)</p></item>
</list>
<p>Then there are two search variants:</p>
<list>
<item>
<title><key>Server search</key></title>
<p>You mostly want to use the live <gui>server search</gui>. It
passes your search terms to the actual directory services, and
loads the most recent data into a result list.</p><p>This might take
a few seconds. And it's not implemented for all channel plugins.
(Some websites/APIs don't have a search.)</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><key>Cache find</key></title>
<p>While <gui>cache find</gui> would just look up entries in your
already downloaded channel/genre lists. This is sufficient when
you're just looking for something previously seen/listened to.</p>
</item>
</list>
