How To Use

Type a query to find a KTANE manual. If there's only one result, you'll go straight there. Most words are searched for verbatim and individually. Wrap words in single or double quotes to include spaces or other special characters. Try it: not forget "simon's"

Pedantic Mode

Normally, syntax errors will be silently "fixed". In pedantic mode, syntax errors will not return any results. Try it: open parenthesis) "open string is:nonexistent

Case Mode and Unicode Mode

Strict casing will check for exact uppercase and lowercase letters in module names. Ignored casing will ignore the distinction. Smart casing will only check casing if you query includes an uppercase letter. Unicode mode works the same way, but for non-ASCII characters. Try it: button Button

Fuzzy Mode

In fuzzy mode, you can make some typos and still find modules. In strict mode, no typos are allowed. In smart mode, a strict search will be tried, and if no results are found, fuzzy mode will be used instead. Try it: buton

Try Exact First Mode

In this mode, your query will be treated as though it had ! in front of it. If that search fails, a normal search will be performed after. Try it: button

Full Match

Prefix a word with an exclamation point ("!") to match against only the full module name (a leading "the" is discarded). Try it: !button

Or and And

By default, all search arguments are combined with an "and" condition. Use the word "or" to combine two sides with an "or" condition. You can also use parentheses to group expressions further. Try it: souvenir or is:needy triangle (button or is:needy) triangle

Not

Prefix any expression with a hyphen ("-") to negate that expression, i.e. any search results must not match it. Try it: simon -is:regular simon -"'s"

Module Properties

Search for modules with a given difficulty like defuser:easy or e<=vh . Search for modules with a given TP score like tp>12 . Search for solvable modules with is:regular or is:r . Search for needy modules with is:needy or is:n . Search for widgets with is:widget or is:w . Search for holfables with is:holdable or is:h. Use not:n as a synonym for -is:n . Search in periodic table symbols with symbol:mm or s:fm .

Use This Page as a Bookmark

In Firefox, you can add bookmarks that use a keyword to search a page. Use https://gdane.net/search?q=%s for this search system.

Local Settings

Your settings for Case Mode, Pedantic Mode, Unicode Mode, Try Exact First Mode, and Fuzzy Mode are saved locally and automatically applied to future searches. You can make a permalink to a search by adding a p search parameter, e.g. https://gdane.net/search?p&q=!buton . Permalinks always use the default settings.

Query Parameters

Query parameters apply to only the automatic search, i.e. the first one that happens when you load the page. You can use case, unicode, fuzzy, strict, and exactfirst to control the respective fields.
