- Find DialogGenoPro
- Find DialogThe find dialog allows to search for a name or keyword.
Enter the text you want to search. If you enter multiple words GenoPro will find objects matching all words. For instance, searching for "andre morin" will find individuals, marriages and pictures matching both "andre" and "morin". There is no difference from searching for "andre morin" or searching for "morin andre".
You may select where you want to search the text. Searching into comments searches all text within individuals, marriages and pictures. If the checkbox "Pictures" is unchecked, then the search result will return an empty picture list. Similarly, if the checkbox "Pictures" is checked but all others unchecked, the search result will also return an empty picture list.
Fuzzy Match will search for similar words. If you are searching for a name, but are not sure of the exact spelling, then the fuzzy match may be your solution. For instance, the word "Morin" and "Marin" are 72% similar according to the fuzzy match algorithm. If you want to broaden the search, decrease the fuzzy match value.
Match Case distinguishes text with uppercase, lowercase and accents characters. If Match Case is unchecked, GenoPro does not distinguishes capital letters and accents from the regular characters.
Match Whole Word Only searches for occurrences that are whole word and not part of a larger word.
You may want to search the entire document, or the selected objects. For instance, if you want to search for an ancestor, you can select an individual, click on the "Select Direct Ancestors" toolbar button and then click on the "Find" button.
What to do with the search results. The most common case is to populate a new list with all matching results, however you may append or subtract the find results to the previous search results.
The Search Results dialog shows all the objects matching the search criteria. In this example, the search criteria was "andre morin" as shown in the Find Dialog figure. The first entry is "Alain Morin" because Alain has two pictures containing the word "André". The next two entries are "André-Paul Morin"; both are the same individual but one is an alias. Françoise is listed in the search result because her comment includes the word "André". The last entry, "Marcel Morin" is listed in the search result because one of the picture contains the word "André".
The Search Results dialog produces three listings:
To switch from one listing to another, just click on one of the icon below:
Searches for text from the previous search results.
Searches for text from the document and append the matching results to the previous search results. Duplicates entries are not appended to the list. For instance, say you want to find all the "Morin" and all the individuals named "Daniel", you can do it using the Find More button.
Searches for text from the document and remove the matching results from the previous search results. For instance, say you want to find all the "Morin" but none having the name "Daniel", you can do it using the Find Less button.
Pick which properties to be displayed in the listing.
Edit the properties of the selected objects. The Statistics Dialog is displayed when multiple individuals are selected.
Generate a report the selected objects.
Remove the selected individuals from the Search Results list. This action does not delete the objects, but simply remove them from the list. This toolbar button allows you to clear the entire previous search results or just a portion of it.
Quickly toggle which items are selected and which items are not selected. To select the entire search results list, deselect all items and click on the Invert Selection button.
Transfer the selected items from the Search Results list and select them into the view. The selected objects will be centered in the view. This button can be very handy to locate the selected objects in the genogram.
Automatically invoke Select Selection when the selection changes. GenoPro will scroll the view to make the selection visible. When you close the dialog, you can restore the scroll position by invoking bookmark #0 (Press the key 0).
You may sort a column simply by clicking on it. To sort in descending order, click again on the same column.
You may select more than one item in the list by holding the Control or Shift key while clicking with the mouse. You may select multiple items by holding the Shift key and using the Up and Down arrows from the keyboard.
You may switch anytime from the Search Results to the Table
Layout by clicking on the following toolbar button.
Clicking twice on the same button hides the Table Layout or the Search Results
respectively.
