[[File:Search-engine.png|thumb|300px|Using search engine Autocompletion feature. You can see the page titles stared with the word "Wikipedia", and then access to the desired page by clicking on the corresponding item of the list. You can also see the pages which includes the word "Wikipedia" by choosing the last item of the list (''containing 'Wikipedia'...'')]]

The search engine is located on the right side of the toolbar. If you can select the search box and type a word inside that, it means your search engine is ready to use. Otherwise, Kiwix will ask you if you want to index the ZIM file or not. You will need to confirm this process in order to use the [[Special:MyLanguage/Features#Search_engine|full-text search engine feature]] or cancel it and use the program without this feature.

This step is very time-consuming. Depending on the  size of your ZIM file and the speed of your computer, might last several hours or even several days for big packages like the English Wikipedia. Note that there is a 20 to 100 percents difference in size between the indexed and non-indexed ZIM files and if you want to index a ZIM file, your computer will have to create the index files which their size is equal to the same difference of the indexed and non-indexed ZIM files, so be careful to do this process without turning your system down or closing the application.

You can also see how many percents of the indexing process has been proceeded or remained in the progressive green bar on the Status bar (like [[File:Indexing-progress.png|link=]]), so your status bar should be active and do this appear that from '''Display''' menu if you can't see it now. Note that you won't need to do this long process if you download the Pre-Indexed ZIM file.

After this process is completed, the full-text search engine will be ready to use. You will just need to type a text into the search field and then press '''Enter''' on your keyboard. A page including a list of matching results will appear and you can access the one you want to view.

If you don't want to use the full-text search ability, you can just type a word in the search box and see a list of the page titles containing that word. The popup-list has the ability of Autocomplete and predicts the word being typed and suggests you the nearest page titles and you can choose the one you want subsequently.

== More options ==

There are some more features available in Kiwix. You can change the language of the application to the one you want by going to '''Display > Language''' in the menu bar and choosing your desired language there. You can also change the skin of Kiwix by going to '''Display > Skin'''. By choosing '''Display > Inverted colors''' or pressing '''Ctrl+I''' ('''⌘-I''' on Mac), the colors of the page will be inverted, e.g. the black text will be white and the white background will be black, this may go along with a log in the program.

Like the sidebar of [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], there is an option named '''[[File:select-all16.png|link=]] Random article''' in the '''Tools''' menu, which shows a random article of the ZIM content. Another option of this menu is '''[[File:purge-history16.png|link=]] Purge history''' which clears the history of the pages you visited and so the Back/Forward buttons will be inactive since then.

If you have a local network and you want to share Kiwix with the clients of the network, you must go to '''Tools > Server''', click on the '''Start''' button after selecting the port and then click on '''Load'''. Afterward, you will have the same Kiwix with less features in your network (simply in your web browser). You can read supplemental information in '''[[Special:MyLanguage/Kiwix-serve|Kiwix-serve]]'''.
