There are various search types in the [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What is ED2K?|eD2k/Kademlia]] network:

== Local search ==

If you are connected to an [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What is ED2K?|eD2k]] [[server]], your search pattern is sent to that [[server]] and this [[server]] will answer with all the [[client]]s it knows which have files matching your search pattern.

The results are then listed in your [[client]].

Since not all [[client]]s are connected to both the [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What is ED2K?|eD2k]] network and the [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What is Kademlia?|Kademlia]] network, the results of this search and the [[#Kademlia_search|Kademlia search]] may vary. Anyway, in most cases the [[client]]s are connected to both (if the [[client]] supports both networks, of course).

== Global search ==

The search pattern is sent through [http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc768.html UDP] queries to all [[server]]s listed in your [[client]]'s [[server]] list, including the [[server]] you are connected to.

The results are then listed in your [[client]].

As a way to enforce [[client]]s to be always connected to some [[server]], global searches aren't available when the [[client]] is not connected to any server.

This type of search will provide you the same results as the [[#Local_search|local search]] plus (maybe) some more.

Since not all [[client]]s are connected to both the [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What is ED2K?|eD2k]] network and the [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What is Kademlia?|Kademlia]] network, the results of this search and the [[#Kademlia_search|Kademlia search]] may vary. Anyway, in most cases the [[client]]s are connected to both (if the [[client]] supports both networks, of course).

This search is quite heavy in terms of the load of the network, so it is recommended not to use it if it is not necessary.

== Kademlia search ==

This search will search through the [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What is Kademlia?|Kademlia]] network. Since it is a [[server]]less network, the search is doen through [[client]]s.

The results are then listed in your [[client]].

Since not all [[client]]s are connected to both the [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What is ED2K?|eD2k]] network and the [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What is Kademlia?|Kademlia]] network, the results of this search and the [[#Local_search|local]] or [[#Global_search|global]] searches may vary. Anyway, in most cases the [[client]]s are connected to both (if the [[client]] supports both networks, of course).

== Web search ==

There can be more than one single web search (as many as searching [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What is ED2K?|eD2k]] webs are recognized by the [[client]]).

This search, depending on the [[client]], will either show a list of files the web has found matching the search pattern or (in most cases) just pop up your web browser with the search results.

The results of this search are independent of those resulting from any of the other types of searches.

== The [[aMule]] Project ==
The aMule project is led by a bunch in people who toil away in front of their computers, so that you can enjoy a stable and featureful P2P client.
This page is about us.

== The Team ==
These are the people who work on aMule:

=== Developers ===

* [[User:deltaHF|deltaHF]]: Webmaster, Admin and from-time-to-time-coder ;)
* [[User:Jacobo221|Jacobo221]]: Our man-for-all

* niet: [http://www.dns.net/dnsrd DNS] stuff, [[XAS]], tester.

== Helping ==
We can always use another helping hand, and if you are interested, then I'd encourage you to contact us and see if you can help us. Currently, what we need the most is developers and testers, though also translators and others.

=== Becoming a Developer ===
To become a [[aMule]] Developer (tm), you'll need at the very least a working knowledge of C++, since that is the language in which [[aMule]] is written. You'll also need to learn about the GUI toolkit used by [[aMule]]: [[wxWidgets]].

However, we do not require that you are an expert, only that you are willing to help and willing to learn.

If you are interested, then simply drop by on [[IRC]] and let us know. Currently we use a private [http://www.gnu.org/software/cvs CVS] server, but after you've submitted a patch or two you can easily get r/w access to it.

Besides [[IRC]], you can post patches on [http://www.amule-project.net/amule/board.php?boardid=47 aMule's Development forum]. After a few good patches, you might become a developer.

We can use your skills if you are using one of the platforms where we aim at being usable on: Unix, [http://www.sun.com/solaris Solaris], [http://www.apple.com Macs] and [http://www.microsoft.com/windows Windows].
And if your operating system of choice isn't on that list, then maybe you can help add it.

=== Becoming a Tester ===
We need people who are willing to create complete bug-reports, as the standard is pretty low regarding user reports. This is rather simple, but takes patience. Please contact us on [[IRC]] for more information and read [[Backtraces|this guide on creating useful backtraces]].

=== Becoming a Translator ===
[[aMule]] already includes translations for a number of languages, however, we'll always welcome more, and even if your language of choice has been done already, then perhaps you can help improve it. Please see the [http://forum.amule.org/board.php?boardid=40 Translations forum] for more information on current translations, or contact us on [[IRC]]. Also, take a deep look into the [[Translations|aMule translation howto]].

Of course, you can also work on [[Translating_Wiki|translating this wiki]]'s articles. There's still a lot of work to do!
