1. The
Search Box: This is where you enter what you are
looking for. Press enter or click on the submit button to
send your search to the network. eDonkey will create a new
tab titled the same as your search terms in the search window
to place the search results in. It may take a while (30
seconds) for search results to start returning. As the results
come in, a running total will be displayed beside the search
terms on the tab title.
2. Format
Box: This is the type of content you are searching
for. Use this to narrow your search to more specific things.
For instance if you only want mp3s you can change this to
Audio. Advanced topic: Configuring the Format box
3. Submit
Button: This submits the search you have typed into
the search box.
4. Download
Button: Once you have search results back, highlight
the files you are interested in and click this button to
download them. The files will now show up in the transfer
tab. You can also start the download by double clicking
a result or highlighting results and right clicking then
selecting "Download".
5. Result
Tabs: These are the results of the various searches
you have sent to the network. You can have multiple tabs.
In the example there are 50 results found for a search for
"transmissionfilms" and 52 results found for a
search for "bishop allen". You can click the tabs
to change which set of results are displayed in the results
list.
6. Results
List: This is a list of results that you have gotten
for a search. Each is a file that is being shared by at
least one other person on the network. You can sort the
results by clicking on the column header you are interested
in. For example to sort by file size click the "size"
column header. Click on the files you are interested in
to highlight them for download.
7. Availability:
This column displays a rough idea of how available a particular
file is. The higher this number the more people on the network
that have the file and thus the faster you should be able
to download the file.
8. Close
result tab button: This closes the currently shown
list of results.
