1LOOKALL(1) General Commands Manual LOOKALL(1)
2
6 lookall - look through all text files on UNIX
7
9 lookall [ -Cn ]
10
12 Lookall accepts keywords from the standard input, performs a search
13 similar to that of refer(1), and writes the result on the standard out‐
14 put. Lookall consults, however, an index to all the text files on the
15 system rather than just bibliographies. Only the first 50 words of
16 each file (roughly) were used to make the indexes. Blank lines are
17 taken as delimiters between queries.
18 The -Cn option specifies a coordination level search: up to n keywords
20 may be missing from the answers, and the answers are listed with those
21 containing the most keywords first.
22 The command sequence in /usr/dict/lookall/makindex regenerates the
24 index.
25
27 The directory /usr/dict/lookall contains the index files.
28
30 `Warning: index precedes file ...' means that a file has been changed
31 since the index was made and it may be retrieved (or not retrieved)
32 erroneously.
33
35 Coordination level searching doesn't work as described: only those
36 acceptable items with the smallest number of missing keywords are
37 retreived.
