 Search Menu

The Chaµµha Saªg±yana CD has a two-in-one function: it is both a Library and a Database.

You can also select the word by clicking and dragging the mouse over the word on the text screen.

The dialog box also displays the buttons: OK, Cancel, Key Help. Except the normal Roman characters, you should use the Key Help to type the word. For details of using the Key Help, see Key Help. The CSCD will search for the word in the Pali-Hindi or Pali-English dictionary and display in a window. By clicking on the word in the left window, the corresponding meanings is displayed in the right window.

If a word that is entered is not found, the system displays all the words that are nearest to the word entered. The user can then scroll through the list of words and see the corresponding meanings.

This option is used after a word has been searched and the book is opened for the searched word. With this option you can go to the Next searched word, or Last/Previous/First occurrence of the word. You can carry out this operation with the following buttons on the Tool Bar.
	>  Next
	>| Last
	<  Previous
	|< First

You can also press the Roman keys N, L, P or F for these operations.

 Reference

To go to the corresponding references in M³la(Pali)/Aµµhakath±s/Ý²k±. This facility gives an easy linking of Attakathas and Tikas to the Tipiµaka texts. You can also use the shortcut buttons on the Tool Bar marked 'M'  'A'  'T' characters on the tool bar. You can only move one step at a time. From M³la, you can go to Aµµhakath±s. From Aµµhakath±s, you can go to M³la or Ý²k±. From Ý²k± you can go to Aµµhakath±. Normally the cursor will be placed at the corresponding paragraph number in the newly opened volume. But for some volumes where the paragraph numbering is not consistent, the corresponding paragraph number may not be reached.

 Search Word

Here you have the choice of searching for a word, a phrase, part of a word, or part of a phrase. The Chaµµha Saªg±yana CD provides a wildcard search option. * are the wildcards used. The * may represent part of a word upto any letter length. The Chaµµha Saªg±yana CD allows prefix- and suffix-based search as well as double use of wildcards(both at the begining of the word and at the end of the word). The diverse choices that you can enjoy in the Chaµµha Saªg±yana CD SEARCH option are listed below. After you have used the Word option to search for a word in the text, the system presents you with a list of words and the names of volumes where the words occur. A number just before the name of volume gives the number of occurrences in the volume.

On selecting the Search-Word option, the system opens a dialog box where the following information is asked for:

Search: Here you can type a single word or multiple words to search for. You could also use wildcard '*'.
'*' indicates multiple characters, e.g.
'ved±nasu ved±nupassi'  could be searched as  'vedan±su vedan±nu*'
*passan± will search for vipassan±, anupassan±, dh±mm±nupassan±, citt±nupassan±, vedan±nupassan±, k±yanupassan± and so on. 

The first list of check boxes are for selecting the Piµakas. Here, you can specify one or more of the Piµakas.  The second list of check boxes is to specify whether you would like the search to be applied on the Tipiµaka, Aµµhakath± or Ý²k± texts. By default, the check box 'All' will be clicked, which means that the search is to be applied on all the books.
TIPS:
a. If you are using a slower computer then it is advisable that you select only particular group in which you want to search the word. This will save time.
b. Any word on the Book can be selected by double clicking on the word.
c. A word or a group of words can also be selected by dragging the mouse over the words.
d. After selecting the word if the Word Search option is clicked, the selected word is copied on the dialogue box. This word can then be edited. This reduces effort for typing the word to be searched.

The buttons OK, Cancel and Key Help will be displayed on the right side.

If more than one word or phrase satisfies the search criteria, the window will contain a list of words(or phrases) that satisfy the search condition. The cursor will be on the first word(or phrase). Alongside the word list, the list of books where the word occurs will be displayed along with the number of occurrences of  the word in the book. You can use the Tab key to move between the two lists.

The list of books will be restricted to the set specified for the search.  If more than one word is found, as you move in the word list, using the mouse or the keyboard, the corresponding list of books appears alongside. On double clicking any of the books listed, the book will be opened for viewing. 

The buttons listed on the bottom of the window are: Cancel,(List the)Occurrences, Print(Word List or Book List),Save to File(Word List or Book List).

In the same dialog box, you can also specify the number of words before and after the occurrence to be shown in the list. Depending on your reply, the occurrences will be listed. This gives you a quick reference of the occurrences of the word, so that you can select for viewing the occurrences which are of interest to you.

You can traverse through the occurrences list and double click on any of them to open the Book at the specified position. Alternatively, you can click on the Print or Save Occurrences button to print out or save in a text file the occurrences on the printer or a disk file. Against each occurrence, the volume name and the page numbers are indicated.
The buttons listed at the bottom of the screen are: Cancel, Print, Save to File.

3. You can click on the Print button to print out or save to file either the word list in the window or the list of books for a selected word to a printer or a disk file.

Chattha Sangayana CD-ROM Version 3

Released 1999

By Vipassana Research Institute, Igatpuri, India

Dedicated to Sayagyi U Ba Khin in his birth Centenary year

Chattha Sangayana CD-ROM Versions 1.0 and 1.1 were released in 1997. They were a landmark in the history of Tipitaka publication over the centuries around the world. This CD-ROM attempted to preserve the Buddha's words and other Pali literature which is a precious cultural heritage of India, in an easy electronic media. Version 2 released in 1998 contained more volumes, and several extra features.

Now Vipassana Research Institute is presenting version 3 in the birth Centenary year of Sayagyi U Ba Khin. This version is more powerful, and contains a total of 217 volumes of Pali texts, many of which are rare and unavailable in printed form. These volumes contain a rich cultural history of India, and this CSCD will serve as a valuable research tool for the Pali scholars, and those interested in ancient social and cultural heritage.

Highlights of the CSCD Version 3:

	1. The text of the Tipitaka authenticated in Chattha Sangayana held in Yangon(Myanmar) in the years 1954-1956 has been used. This is the most authentic text of Tipitaka, atthakathas, and Tikas available in modern times, as this was reviewed by a congregation of Bhikkhus from all over the world.
	2. This is the first publication of the Pali literature, including many unavailable rare volumes, in the versatile electronic media of CD-ROM, which has following facilities:
	a. The text can be viewed in seven scripts:
		a. Devanagari
		b. Roman
		c. Myanmar
		d. Thai
		e. Sinhalese
		f. Khmer
		g. Mongol
	b. There is extensive navigation facility to look at any portion of the voluminous text conveniently, and also search for any word.
	c. There are 217 volumes of Pali text in the CSCD. A complete list of the volumes is available in the file manual.rtf in the root directory of the CSCD disk. Text files of some of these volumes were graciously provided to us by Venerable Bhikkhu Mettavihari of Sri Lanka Tipitaka Project, 380/9 Sarana Road, Colombo 7. These volumes are included in the section "Other Texts" under subheading "Sinhala Gantha Sangaho".

	3. A new facility has been provided to open any Sutta directly from the Sutta drop down list.

	4. Besides the Pali-Hindi dictionary, this version has a Pali-English dictionary, to help readers all over the world understand the Pali texts.
