The article provides guidelines for conducting searches within a specific text database. It explains how to use various search operators, such as `u:` to limit searches to the original text and `k:` for comments and editorial content. Multiple search terms are automatically connected with 'or', and to ensure all terms appear on a page, a `+` must precede each term. The article also mentions the use of `*` as a wildcard for broader searches. For example, searching `+u:*haus +k:wallot` will find pages containing 'Haus' and any words ending in 'haus', along with 'Wallot' in the comments. It notes that the search is case-insensitive and that a precise search is the default, meaning 'Haus' will not match 'Hauses'. Additionally, it describes how to search for phrases using quotation marks, such as "symbolischer Ironie". The first search may take longer as the search index needs to be loaded. Lastly, it mentions that the table of contents for the template includes not only chapter titles but also a list of all column titles, although only chapter headings are displayed for clarity.
