Men of War - Wiki Searcher

Men of War - Wiki Searcher is a free windows application to browse Men of War - Wiki from a PC. It features the ability to use an application's own webbrowser (which is a Windows Internet Explorer plugin) and the ability to restore an earier session. Men of War - Wiki Searcher was written by Dennis G. (Dennis07) for wiki users. Its release will probably be in the late summer of 2012. The default Language is English, but custom languages can be added easily using an internal feature.

Main form
The main form is loaded by default and lets the user search the Men of War - Wiki. If wished, a selection of the most important namespaces can be expanded to specify the search. If no namespace has been selected before search, Articles will be enabled automatically. A click on the Settings -button opens the settings menu where the user can configure several application settings. There is a Load button, too, which ables the direct access of a given page name by the user. Namespace selection will be ignored in this case. The other option is the Edit -field which leads the user directly to the editing window of the wanted page (however, note that you have to be logged in to edit a page).

Settings form
The settings form can be opened via clicking on the Settings -button on the main form. It holds many configuration settings auch as the toggle of the application's visibility in the task bar, the possible enabling and disabling of the usage of your system's default internet browser or the selection of a language including a button for the creation of new localization files. An additional feature is the toggle and configuration of sessionrestore settings, such as if the user wishes to restore saved window positions, the browser history and the automatic restore feature.

Browser form
If the user has enabled that he/she wants to use not default system browser, search requests will be handled via an own Internet Explorer component with a new interface. The settings you used to configure in Internet Explorer will be taken to the application's custom browser and cannot be changed there. The browser's interface holds the ablility to search and to load a page of the user's choice or to directly lead to the wiki's Main Page. This can be done by clicking the button with the caption Main Page (may differ in other translations). The browser window has some destrictions, too. For example, a resize or maximize of the window by the user is not possible.
