I can already get the above list by going to the howto directory (I
|
|
type the alias "how") to do this and then:
|
|
$ find . -iname "*net*"
|
|
|
|
I don't think that keywords that describe the entire HOWTO would be of
|
|
much help. I've been hard-pressed to think up any important keywords
|
|
to describe some HOWTOs.
|
|
|
|
The abstracts of HOWTOs already exist, and could be utilized in
|
|
searching. A simple way to do this would be to collect all the
|
|
abstracts into a single file. Then a user would use grep, an editor,
|
|
a pager, etc. to search that "abstract" file. I can now go to the
|
|
HOWTO directory and use zgrep to search all words of all HOWTOs, but
|
|
on an old PC it takes a while. So it would be faster to just search
|
|
one abstract file. With the latest PCs it wouldn't save much time.
|
|
|
|
If what one was looking for didn't turn up in the abstracts, one might
|
|
need to use grep (or zgrep) anyway (to search all the HOWTOs). The
|
|
advantage of a grep search is that it shows the context of the use of
|
|
the term. A keyword doesn't show this. Thus while I think that doing
|
|
the abstract file is more feasible than keywords (for the entire
|
|
HOWTO), I don't consider doing it a high priority.
