See zearch.html for user documentation.

In my opinion, this is the program most needed on the Zaurus.  It becomes
more and more important to have the ability to search across documents
and PIM information as that information grows. It would be nice if this
program or something similar would be adopted by Trolltech in future
versions of the Qtopia desktop.

Build environment:
I used Mandrake 8.2 with qtopia free 1.5.0 installed, as well as the
ARM cross compiler / developer packages found at the various development
links for the Zaurus.

I modeled this program after the search function in PalmOS. When there
was a question about how to search, I followed the functionality on the Palm.
For example, the palm search displays old calendar entries and completed
TODO items, so zearch does the same.

This program is designed to be small and fast.  That brings along with it
some side effects such as some false matches in certain document types,
because the search string matches some control information in the document
rather than the actual document text.

To build, setup your environment for the appropriate target (ARM or x86),
and do:
	make x
to make an x86 version of zearch runable in the virtual framebuffer.
	make z
to make an ARM version of zearch runable on on the SL-5000/SL-5500 Zaurus.
	make zipk
to make an installable package file to transfer to the zaurus for
for installation.
