1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 About Hulbee Desktop

Hulbee Desktop is specially designed software program for desktop search. Hulbee
Desktop brings together highly-intelligent powerful search tools as Search string, Data cloud
and Hulbee gadget. But even more, as a very flexible solution Hulbee Desktop allows usage of
these tools in various combinations.
Hulbee Desktop is powered by Lucene.Net, which is port of the Java Lucene search en-
gine to the C# and .NET platform utilizing Microsoft .NET Framework.
1.1.1 THE PURPOSE OF HULBEE DESKTOP
The main purpose of Hulbee Desktop is to simplify a full text search on local computer,
even without using a keyboard. Hulbee Desktop supports both plain text and the majority of the
most popular formats including archives, Outlook messages with attachments and even audio
files (extracting textual data from tags only).
Formats supported:
 Microsoft Word (97-2007),
 Microsoft Outlook (2003-2007),
 PDF format (.pdf),
 Open Office (.odp, .odt, .sxw),
 .rtf, .htm, .xml;
 Archives (.rar, .zip)
 Audio formats (.mp3, .ogg, .wma, .flac and others). Only textual tags of audio files are
indexed.
Hulbee Desktop can search in different languages. English, German, Dutch and Spanish
are included in the base package. Using intelligent technologies Hulbee Desktop can recognize
all word forms for the supported languages. For example: if search query includes word “light”
then the search results may contain texts with such words as “lights”, “lighted”, “lighting” etc.
However, some features are not yet implemented in the current version of Hulbee Desk-
top. These are some technical improvements that will be realized in later versions:
 Ability to define monitored areas for Hulbee Desktop Indexer (local files and
folders, hidden and system files and folders, net drives, removable media, etc.);
 Wider languages range support.
Later versions of Hulbee Desktop also will include additional intelligent features:
 Data cloud clusterization;
 Search results classification, etc.

3. WORK WITH HULBEE DESKTOP
3.1 Principle of operation

Hulbee Desktop software solution consists of several modules:
 Hulbee Desktop browser (hereinafter referred to as Hulbee Desktop);
 Hulbee Desktop Indexer (3.2.7 subsection);
 Hulbee Gadget (3.2.8 subsection).
Hulbee Desktop and Hulbee Gadget are the user interface modules. These modules de-
veloped to interact with user, they receive user queries and process software responses to form
search results. Search results can be represented in different forms, as:
 Search results list (fig. 3.1 marker 6);
 Hulbee Desktop Data cloud (fig. 3.1 marker 8);
 Hulbee Gadget Data cloud (fig. 3.15 marker 3).
Hulbee Desktop Indexer is a very important part of Hulbee Desktop software solution.
This module is used to find and collect textual data from defined locations. In current version of
Hulbee Desktop there is fixed list of locations for Hulbee Desktop Indexer to process (only
normal files and folders on local computer). It is planned to add feature that will allow user to
define locations for Hulbee Desktop Indexer to be monitored (local files and folders, hidden
and system files and folders, net drives, removable media, etc.)
Hulbee Desktop Indexer watches over the computer content and traces all changes (new
content added, some files moved or deleted). That is why Hulbee Desktop Indexer is so impor-
tant; it allows Hulbee Desktop to know about current files on a computer. However, usually it
takes some time to process newly added files.
When Hulbee Desktop Indexer processes textual data from files, it saves important data
in special index data base. Index data base allows to find files very quickly. Current version of
Hulbee Desktop can extract data from various sources. Not only the names of files and folders,
document files texts, archives and mail messages but even tags of audio files can be processed by
Hulbee Desktop to extract information (see list of formats supported in the 1.1.1 subsection).
Using this advanced techniques Hulbee Desktop has the power to find:
 Files by file (or folder) names;
 Documents by contained text;
 Mail messages by message text or by attached files text or file name;
 Audio files by tags (author, genre, album, etc.)

During search process Data cloud (fig. 3.1 marker 8) is updated to correspond with
Search string (fig. 3.5 marker 3) and computer content. Any changes of Search string will
reflect on Data cloud and vice versa.
Data cloud contains characteristic words from computer content, concerning query
words the most. Data cloud words can come from different sources, like file or directory names,
documents texts, tags etc. (see section 3.1 and list of formats supported in the 1.1.1 subsection).
In other words Data cloud presents terms related with query terms by computer content.
In contrast to Search string, Data cloud visually presents possible ways of making a query, i.e.
offers possible variants in an easy and understandable form.
Adding or excluding query words with the Data cloud is a matter of mouse click.

3.3 The Principles of Work With Hulbee Desktop

Search with Hulbee Desktop can be performed using any or any combination of Hulbee
search tools (Search string, Data cloud and Hulbee gadget). But any search process can be
divided into several basic steps:
1. Set initial search query;
2. Check results of search;
3. Clarify search query;
4. Use search results.
Figure 3.18 Search process scheme
Even so Hulbee Desktop is designed to search on local computer, but it is integrated

tightly with Hulbee Internet search solution. At any moment with the help of Search where list
(fig. 3.5 marker 2) it is possible to turn local search into internet search.
 Instruction 3.1 Performing Internet search

To perform Internet search for specific query:
1. Go to Hulbee Desktop main window (fig. 3.1). If Hulbee Desktop is not
running refer to section 2.2;
2. Click on New search button (fig. 3.1 marker 3) to clear Search string
(fig. 3.5 marker 3) if necessary;
! Click on New search button will clear not only Search string (fig.
3.5 marker 3), but also Search results list (fig. 3.1 marker 6) and Da-
ta cloud (fig. 3.8).
3. Click on Search string (fig. 3.5 marker 3);

4. Input search query;
5. Click on Search where list (fig. 3.5 marker 2);
6. Chose Internet item from list;
7. Click on Go button (fig. 3.5 marker 4)

Page 31 of 48
8. Browser window will be opened to continue search with Hulbee Internet
search solution.
3.3.1 USING SEARCH STRING

Search string (fig. 3.5 marker 3) is well-proven traditional search tool. It is used to input
words to search through computer content. However Search string support wildcard symbols
(„?‟ and „*‟), logic operators (AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-"), fuzzy search and many other tools.
To get detailed description on search query syntax see subsection 3.5.1.
 Instruction 3.2 Performing search using Search string
To find a file using Search string:

4. Type in search query;
5. Press Enter key or click Go button (fig. 3.5 marker 4);
6. Review files found in Search results list (fig. 3.1 marker 6);
If search results do not contain desired files for specific query, it is recommended to ad-
dress subsection 3.3.4.
3.3.2 USING DATA CLOUD

One of Data cloud (fig. 3.8) distinctive features is ability to suggest query variants. This
ability exempts from the need of formulating a query exact wording. Data cloud will always be
there to help when it is difficult to formulate a query or if the search subject is unknown. During
search process Data cloud is rebuilt every time a query changes. Adding or excluding query
words builds a new cloud consisting of the words that are the closest to the search subject. Data
cloud allows using of less accurate initial queries and clarifies them easily.
The query should be clarified if it is not sufficiently precise. Query can be clarified by
adding the query words or excluding them.
Query words should be added if:
 The query contains few words (1-2);
 The items of interest are not found.

Page 32 of 48
Query words should be excluded if:

 The query contains unnecessary words, which do not fit in theme of the
search;
 The query contains too many words.
Query clarification should be repeated by adding and excluding words until the items of
interest will be found. If the query clarification does not give the desired results, this means that
there are no such files on computer.
 Instruction 3.3 Performing search using Data cloud

To find a file using Data cloud:

6. If query is not sufficiently precise – clarify it by adding (instr. 3.4) or ex-
cluding (instr. 3.5) query words;
If search results do not contain desired files for specific query, it is recommended to ad-
dress subsection 3.3.4.
 Instruction 3.4 Clarifying search query with Data cloud by adding the word
To add the word to search query with Data cloud:
1. Select the word in Data cloud (fig. 3.8) which concerns search goal the
most;
2. Click the selected word;
3. The word will be added to the query and highlighted correspondingly.
 Instruction 3.5 Clarifying search query with Data cloud by excluding the word
To exclude the word from search query with Data cloud:
1. Select the word in Data cloud (fig. 3.8) to exclude. The query must con-
tain that word (word highlighted correspondingly);
2. Point the cursor at the selected word. Strikethrough line should appear on
that word;

Page 33 of 48
3. Click the selected word;
4. The word will be excluded from the query.
3.3.3 USING HULBEE GADGET

Hulbee Gadget (fig. 3.15) combines Data cloud (fig. 3.8) and Search string (fig. 3.5
marker 3) in a very compact form of Windows Vista gadget. Hulbee Gadget can be used as al-
ternative to Data cloud (fig. 3.8). But main purpose of Hulbee Gadget is to receive initial query
and transfer it to Hulbee Desktop application.
 Instruction 3.6 Input of search query with Hulbee Gadget
To input search query with Hulbee Gadget:
1. Click Search string (fig. 3.15 marker 1) on Hulbee Gadget;
4. Hulbee Desktop main window (fig. 3.1) should appear with results on in-
putted query.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944239.
3.3.4 SEARCH PROBLEMS SOLUTION

If search results (Search results list, fig. 3.1 marker 6) do not contain desired files for
specific query this means that there are no such files on computer or search query is not precise
enough. There are several ways to continue search:
 To continue search on local computer try to repeat search with another query, or
refined initial query;
 Try to clarify initial query with Data cloud (instr. 3.3);
 Try to search in the Internet (instr. 3.1) using initial query or clarified query.
 If search results do not contain desired files for specific

query it is possible to turn local search into internet
search. To do so just chose Internet in Search where list
(fig. 3.5 marker 2) and click Go button (fig. 3.5 marker
4). Detailed instructions can be found in instr. 3.1.
Not as a problem, rather a small issue: usually, then search query words are added or ex-
cluded it makes the Search results list (fig. 3.1 marker 6) to refresh with changed content. But
there is one exception for that rule. When search query contains exact name of some file, adding
of words that is similar to the names of directories that build up file path for that file will not
change content of the Search results list (fig. 3.1 marker 6). Similar situation may occur when
some words (similar to the names of directories that build up file path) are excluded from the
search query with exact file name.

Page 35 of 48
In described cases Search results list (fig. 3.1 marker 6) will be not updated as usual,
but this behavior is normal.
If the problem won‟t be solved, it is recommended to communicate with the support ser-
vice for solving such situations (section 4.3).
3.3.5 CHANGING INTERFACE LANGUAGE

Hulbee Desktop interface is localized on several languages (English, Deutsch, Spanish
and Nederland localization in current version).
 Instruction 3.11 Changing Hulbee Desktop interface language.
To change language:
1. In Main menu (fig. 3.1 marker 4) click on Options;
2. Point cursor at Language item;
3. Language menu (fig. 3.4) should appear;
4. Click on desired language item.
3.3.6 INTEGRATING HULBEE SEARCH TO BROWSER

Hulbee search can be integrated to Internet browser (Internet Explorer 7-8, Firefox and
Opera are supported) by adding www.hulbee.com to browser search providers list. Search pro-
vider can be added during installation (see instr. 2.1, step 13) or during Hulbee Desktop runtime

3.4 Typical tasks

3.4.1 DOCUMENT SEARCHING
Effective document search with Hulbee Desktop can be performed using several of Hul-
bee search tools (Search string, Data cloud or Hulbee gadget). In most common case docu-
ment search can be performed using next instruction:
 Instruction 3.13 Performing document search using Search string and Data
cloud.
To perform document search:
1. Run Hulbee Desktop (instr. 2.6);
2. Type query word or words to the Search string (fig. 3.5 marker 3). To do
so see instr. 3.2 points 2-5;
3. If initial query is not accurate enough – clarify it, using Data cloud (fig.
3.8). Query is clarified through adding (instr. 3.4) or excluding (instr. 3.5)
query words. Clarification should continue until query is accurate enough;
5. If there are no desired files found – repeat steps 2-4 with another initial
query;
6. If there are still no desired files found – try to search in Internet (instr.
3.1).
To get better understanding of how to search with Hulbee Desktop see example in 3.4.4
subsection.
3.4.2 SEARCHING FILE BY FILE NAME

File searching with Hulbee Desktop can be performed in same manner as for document
(see 3.4.1 subsection). But for effective search some advanced techniques may become handy.
By default Hulbee Desktop is searching files by content and file name, in this case
search results will include 2 file types:
1. Files with query words in the file name;
2. Document files containing query words within its texts.
When files are searched by name it is obvious that files of 2nd type does not meet the
search criteria. To limit the search by file names and directory names only name_content field is
used (To get detailed description on search query syntax see subsection 3.5.1). In this case query
will look like next:
name_content:”file_name”
Where file_name is the name of the file to search or the name of directory containing that file.

Page 37 of 48
 Searching by directory name will be effective in case of
rare or unique directory name. In case of common direc-
tory name (like “Temp” or “New folder”) such a search
will be useless.
Searching file by name can be performed using next instruction:

 Instruction 3.14 Performing file search by file name using Search string.
To perform file search:
1. Run Hulbee Desktop (instr. 2.6);
2. Type query to the Search string (fig. 3.5 marker 3). To do so see instr.
3.2 steps 2-5. If the search target is file named “secret file” then query will
look like „name_content:”secret file”‟ (without single quotation marks);
4. If there are no desired files found – try to search using basic techniques
(see 3.4.1 subsection);
5. If there are still no desired files found – try to search in Internet (instr.
3.1).
 Searching archive file by file name will add files con-

tained in archives found to Search results list (fig. 3.1
marker 6).
3.4.3 SEARCHING AUDIO FILE BY TAG INFORMATION

Hulbee Desktop allows to search files of audio formats by file names (see 3.4.2 subsec-
tion) or by tag information. Searching of audio file is as easy as basic document search (see 3.4.1
subsection). To perform search of audio file instr. 3.13 should be used with one remark: search
query should contain tag information to search for, like composition, album or artist name (or
another tag information).

Page 38 of 48
3.4.4 SEARCH EXAMPLE

For example, let us suppose that search goal is Hulbee Desktop manual, but user forgot
how exactly software is named and searches for documentation on search software. Let initial
query be “search software”. In this case next sequence will lead to success:
1. Type query “search software” to the Search string (fig. 3.5 marker 3) and press Enter.
Hulbee Desktop main window will look like fig. 3.20.
Figure 3.20 Results on “search software” query

Page 39 of 48
2. Clarify query by adding “Hulbee” word from Data cloud (fig. 3.8). Hulbee Desktop
main window will look like fig. 3.21.
Figure 3.21 Clarifying query step 1

Page 40 of 48
3. Clarify query again by adding “Document” word from Data cloud (fig. 3.8). Hulbee
Desktop main window will look like fig. 3.22.
Figure 3.22 Clarifying query step 2
4. Now the query is accurate enough and search target document is displayed in the Search
results list (fig. 3.22). Double click document (in the Search results list) to open it.
3.5 Advanced features
3.5.1 SEARCH QUERY SYNTAX

Hulbee Desktop provides a rich query language that gives the power to use wildcard
symbols, logical operators and many other tools. Hulbee Desktop query language allows con-
struction of advanced queries that improve search efficiency dramatically. There are next tools
available in Hulbee Desktop query language:
 Terms

Page 41 of 48
A query is broken up into terms and operators. There are two types of terms: Single
Terms and Phrases.
A Single Term is a single word such as "test" or "hello".
A Phrase is a group of words surrounded by double quotes such as "hello dolly".
Multiple terms can be combined together with Boolean operators to form a more complex
query (see below).
 Fields
When performing a search either a field can be specified, or the default field used. There
are several field names reserved: content, name_content and name. The default field is content
field. Content field is used to search on all available data. Name_content field is used to search
only file or directory names. And name field is reserved for service function.
Any field can be searched by typing the field name followed by a colon ":" and then the
query term.
As an example, let's assume that the search target is the document file named "The Right
Way" which contains the text "don't go this way". In this case search query may look like:
name_content:"The Right Way" AND content: "don't go this way"
or
name_content:"Do it right" AND "don't go this way"
Since content is the default field, the field indicator is not required.
 The field is only valid for the term that it directly pre-
cedes, so the query
name_content:Do it right
will only find "Do" in the name_content field. It will find
"it" and "right" in the default field (in this case the con-
tent field).
 Wildcard Searches
Hulbee Desktop supports single and multiple character wildcard searches within single
terms (not within phrase queries).
To perform a single character wildcard search use the "?" symbol.
To perform a multiple character wildcard search use the "*" symbol.
The single character wildcard search looks for terms that match that with the single char-
acter replaced. For example, to search for "text" or "test" next search query can be used:
te?t
Multiple character wildcard searches looks for 0 or more characters. For example, to
search for test, tests or tester, next search query can be used:
test*
Also wildcard symbols can be used in the middle of a term:
te*t
 A * or ? symbol cannot be used as the first character of a
search.

Page 42 of 48
 Fuzzy Searches
Hulbee Desktop supports fuzzy searches based on the Levenshtein Distance, or Edit Dis-
tance algorithm. To do a fuzzy search use the tilde, "~", symbol at the end of a Single word
Term. For example to search for a term similar in spelling to "roam" use the fuzzy search:
roam~
This search will find terms like foam and roams.
An additional (optional) parameter can specify the required similarity. The value is be-
tween 0 and 1, with a value closer to 1 only terms with a higher similarity will be matched. For
example:
roam~0.8
The default that is used if the parameter is not given is 0.5.
 Boosting a Term
Hulbee Desktop provides the relevance level of matching documents based on the terms
found. To boost a term use the caret, "^", symbol with a boost factor (a number) at the end of the
query term. The higher the boost factor, the more relevant the term will be.
Boosting allows to control the relevance of a document by boosting its term. For exam-
ple, if initial search query is
Grossbay hulbee
To make the term "Grossbay" to be more relevant boost it using the ^ symbol along with the
boost factor next to the term. Search query will look like:
Grossbay^4 hulbee
This will make documents with the term Grossbay appear more relevant. Phrase Terms
also can be boosted as in the example:
"Grossbay hulbee"^4 "Hulbee Desktop"
By default, the boost factor is 1. Although the boost factor must be positive, it can be less
than 1 (e.g. 0.2)
 Boolean Operators
Boolean operators allow terms to be combined through logic operators. Hulbee Desktop
supports AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-" as Boolean operators. Boolean operators must be ALL
CAPS.
The OR operator is the default conjunction operator. This means that if there is no Boo-
lean operator between two terms, the OR operator is used. The OR operator links two terms and
finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. This is equivalent to a un-
ion using sets. The symbol || can be used in place of the word OR.
To search for documents that contain either "Grossbay hulbee" or just "Grossbay" use the
query:
"Grossbay hulbee" Grossbay
or
"Grossbay hulbee" OR Grossbay

Page 43 of 48
 AND
The AND operator matches documents where both terms exist anywhere in the text of a
single document. This is equivalent to an intersection using sets. The symbol && can be used in
place of the word AND.
To search for documents that contain "Grossbay hulbee" and "Hulbee Desktop" use the
query:
"Grossbay hulbee" AND "Hulbee Desktop"
 +
The "+" or required operator requires that the term after the "+" symbol exist somewhere
in a field of a single document.
To search for documents that must contain "Grossbay" and may contain "desktop" use the
query:
+Grossbay desktop
 NOT
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term after NOT. This is equiva-
lent to a difference using sets. The symbol ! can be used in place of the word NOT.
To search for documents that contain "Grossbay hulbee" but not "Hulbee Desktop" use
the query:
"Grossbay hulbee" NOT "Hulbee Desktop"
 The NOT operator cannot be used with just one term. For
example, the following search will return no results:
NOT "Grossbay hulbee"
 -
The "-" or prohibit operator excludes documents that contain the term after the "-" sym-
bol.
To search for documents that contain "Grossbay hulbee" but not "Hulbee Desktop" use
the query:
"Grossbay hulbee" -"Hulbee Desktop"
 Grouping
Hulbee Desktop supports using parentheses to group clauses to form sub queries. This
can be very useful because it allows to control the boolean logic for a query.
To search for either "Grossbay" or "hulbee" and "website" use the query:
(Grossbay OR hulbee) AND website
This eliminates any confusion and ensures that website must exist and either term Gross-
bay or hulbee may exist.
 Field Grouping
Hulbee Desktop supports using parentheses to group multiple clauses to a single field.
To search for a document, by file name or path that contains both the word "return" and
the phrase "pink panther" use the query:

Page 44 of 48
name_content:(+return +"pink panther")
 Escaping Special Characters
Hulbee Desktop supports escaping special characters that are part of the query syntax.
The current list special characters are
+ - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \
To escape these character use the \ before the character. For example to search for
(1+1):2 use the query:
\(1\+1\)\:2
