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]] with 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]] [[#Global_search|global]] search 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.
