Search Netlib (original) (raw)

Another Netlib search interface (which indexes the same material) is available at http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/search.html. Also check here to search the NA-Digest.

Helpful searching tips:

• You can do a fielded search by using the syntax :
  fieldname=whatever
  See below for a list of field names.
• Another good way to find the software you need is to use theGAMS class hierarchy.
• You can use freeWAIS-sf query syntax.
• If all else fails, check the Netlib Question and Answer Forum.

Field names:
(global indicates that the field is included in the global index that will be searched if no attribute name is specified)

• file (global) -- any portion of the pathname for a regular file
• lib (global) -- any portion of the pathname for a directory
• for (global) -- problem solved or description
• gams -- GAMS class
• prec -- Fortran precision (single, double, complex, or doublecomplex)
• title (global)
• alg -- algorithm or method
• by (global) -- author (name )
• keywords (global) -- terms as would be drawn from a subject thesaurus
• lang -- programming language

Search Examples:

1. To seach for single precision routines in the lapack directory that do Schur factorization:
   file=lapack and file=single and Schur
   (since the lapack single precision routines are in the lapack/single directory)
2. To search for curve fitting or gams class E1 and its subclasses:
   (curve and fitting) or gams=e1*
3. To do a literal search for 'cosine transform':
   'cosine transform'
