- You may be unable to find the entry you are looking for with a
- straight-forward query. This may be because the entry is named differently
- to what you imagined, or may be an indication that the entry is not in the
- directory. Browsing the directory may be useful in these circumstances.
- The following example gives an example of how to BROWSE.
- person> kille
- department> computing science
- organisation> ucl
- country> gb
-
- The Directory Service returns with the message: "No departments match string
- `computing science'" and prompts for a DEPARTMENT name to be entered.
- Entering "*" will list all the DEPARTMENTs within gb, ucl thus:
- 1 A.U.T. Office
- 2 American Institute for Foreign Study
- 27 Computer Science etc.
-
- The user can now select one from the list by entering the tag number thus:
- department> 27
- and the query should now proceed further.
