Yes, you're correct.. :-)
when you search you're searching the current documentation on
your machine, as well as the sample code, technotes etc. updated
information on the web (typically sample code and technotes that
come out on a different schedule than tech pubs has) is also
searched.
Pretty spiffy. I have only used it once or twice, and did not
realize it also searched the Web.
Yep.
I just submitted requests for the API search mode to do substrings,
not just prefixes, and for the full text search mode to do stemming.
Actually...
Xcode's full-text search lets you search the installed documentation
for a word or phrase. You can enter a simple search term, such as
“button,” or create more advanced queries using Boolean operators and
wildcard characters. Xcode's full-text search uses Apple's Search Kit
technology, described in Adding Search to Your Application (Preliminary)
file:///Developer/ADC Reference Library/documentation/
DeveloperTools/Conceptual/XcodeUserGuide21/Contents/Resources/
en.lproj/01_07_pr_navigate/chapter_10_section_4.html
describes the search functionality, including the more advanced stuff
As I read this thread, I assumed everybody was talking about the
Web site as the point of entry into the documentation. Maybe the
first point of entry that people turn to should actually be the
Xcode Documentation window.
Now, with the current Web documentation available as a download
to your local machine, I believe that Xcode's Documentation Window is
probably the best way to do that. _______________________________________________
