<para>
The <guilabel
>Search</guilabel

You can define how to search and also allows to use another special way of searching
called <emphasis
><guilabel
>Word substitution</guilabel
></emphasis
>. By substituting
one or two words the approximate text can be found as well. For example, assume you
are trying to find the text <userinput
>My name is Andrea</userinput
>.
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term

></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Text from database matches if it is the same as the searched string. In our example it can
be <emphasis

in <guilabel
>Characters to be ignored</guilabel

<term

<listitem>
<para>

be found.

tries to replace one of the words in the query. In our example it will
find <emphasis

</para>
</listitem>

<varlistentry>

<title
>Filling the database</title>
<para>
The <guilabel
>Database</guilabel

disk (<guilabel
>Database directory</guilabel
>) and if it should be used for automatic
storing of the new translations (<guibutton
>Auto add entry to database</guibutton
>).
In this case you should specify the author of the new translation in <guilabel
>Auto added
entry author</guilabel
>.
</para>
<para>
The rest of the tab allows you to fill the database from already existent PO files. Use one
of the buttons in the middle of the dialog box. The progress of the file loading will be
shown by progress bars below the buttons. The <guilabel
>Repeated strings</guilabel>
button should be used in special case when one translated string is repeated many
times, so you do not want to store too many of them. Here you can limit the stored strings.

<title
>Defining good keys</title>
<para>
On the <guilabel

the list of good keys.
<guilabel
>Minimum number of query words in the key (%)</guilabel
> specifies exactly that.
Text will need to contain only this per cent of the words to qualify as good key. Opposite can
be specified via <guilabel
>Minimum number of words of the key also in the query (%)</guilabel
>.
The length of the words can be set by <guilabel
>Max length</guilabel
> spinbox.
</para>
<para
>Searched text typically contains number of generic words, &eg; articles. You can
eliminate the words based on the frequency. You can discard them by
<guilabel
>Discard words more frequent than</guilabel

<guilabel

frequent words will be almost invisible for queries.

<title
>Auxiliary PO file</title>
<para
>This searching mode is based on matching the same original
English string (the msgid) translated in some other language in an
auxillary <acronym

languages to have similar words, similarly for for anglosaxon and
slavonic ones.</para>
<para

<quote

but have no clue. I look in the same file for French and find
<quote
>actif</quote

<quote

will be <quote
