Search Page Contents

On this page:

You can search for either whole strings, or you can specify a starting string and an ending string (<img src="`">). You may use both search types in a query. If you specify starting and ending strings, they must be on the same line, separated with the accent character ( ` - it's right above the tab key). If you do not specify any search arguments, you simply get a list of each file in that directory.

The search direction affects how start and end strings are handled. If you search forwards, the search engine looks for an occurrence of the starting string, then finds the closest ending string. If you search backwards, the search engine looks for an occurrence of the ending string, then finds the closest starting string. Why would you want to search backwards? Suppose you want to get a list of all images used on pages. You might search for ("`.jpg"). By searching backwards, we find '.jpg" ' first, then look back to the closest double quote. If you searched forwards, your search results would begin with the first double quote on the page, then continue on to the first '.jpg" '.

Results to return tells the search engine how many results to display. If you select unique values only (which is really most useful when specifying starting and ending strings), you will only receive one search result per successful query. If you select all occurrences, you will receive every successful query. Using the above example, if you specify 'Unique values only', the search results will list each unique image only once, regardless of the number of pages on which it is found. Otherwise, you will get a list of every file that contains that image.

Finally, your search results can either be sorted by the search result or the file path.
