</h2>
<img src="images/toolbar-search.png" />
<p>Click the "search programs" icon in the toolbar to bring
up the search programs window.</p>
<img src="images/searchbar.png" />
<p>The search window allows you to enter search criteria into the
search bar and search for any matching programs. Normally you enter a
name in the 'title' input, press the search icon and use the
results.</p>
<p>Note: The search icon will only appear once something valid to
search for has been entered. So you may need to tab or click to
another input (depending on your web browser).</p>
<img src="images/search-results.png" />
<p>Like the "Program Recording List", you can
expand/contract all of the search results by using the '+' and
'-' icons in the toolbar. Again, each result heading has
it's own '+' or '-'.</p>

<h2>
<a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="Record">Record</a>
</h2>
<p>Like the "Program Recording List", you can use each
program's record seelct menu to create a recording for that
program title.</p>
<img src="images/search-recprog.png" />
<p>Alternatively, using the search bar's record select menu
provides the means of setting up a "fuzzy" search recording.</p>
<img src="images/search-recfuzzy.png" />
<p>In this case, a recording is scheduled for any program titles
that match the specified search expression.</p>
<h2>
<a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="Search_Expression">Search Expression</a>
</h2>
<p>
When text is entered into the 'title' input box, a search is
done assuming wildcards before and after the entered text. So, for
example, entering
<code>'big bang'</code>
will match programs
<code>'The Big Bang Theory'</code>
, and
<code>'T4: The Big Bang Theory'</code>
.
</p>
<p>
You can anchor the start and/or end to match the program title by
using <b>^</b> to anchor the start, and <b>$</b> to anchor the end.
For example, inputting
<code>'^The Big Bang'</code>
will match
<code>'The Big Bang Theory'</code>
but not
<code>'T4: The Big Bang Theory'</code>
.
</p>
<p>
Using <b>%</b> in the text results in wildcard matching of any
character(s) at that position.
</p>
<p>These same matching rules are used for a "fuzzy"
recording.</p>
<h2>
<a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="Genre_Search">Genre Search</a>
</h2>
<p>Although the broadcast genre information is not as useful as
we'd like, one thing it is good at is for searching for films.
Enter 'film' into the genre and pressing search will return
the list of all films for the next two weeks. Obviously you can refine
this using the 'title' input and/or the 'channel'
dropdown.</p>
