Game Database

GOWrite can create searchable database from all existing SGF files.

Database can be searched for pattern, such as joseki or fuseki in game.

GOWrite does not contain games. All SGF-file based game collections should work with GOWrite, such as  GoGoD-collection.

Search

Position in board can be searched by first selecting area, and then clicking search icon in toolbar.

If database has not been created yet, GOWrite asks if database should be created.

Database set-up

Database creation and management can be done from options -> Game Database.

Database setup wizard collects all information needed to create database.

Usually database location does not need to be changed. Note that if you have lots of games, database can grow to 10's of megabytes.

Database content is collected by crawling files in disk. Next step is to define where to look for files. GOWrite recursively looks at directories within directories. GOWrite can also search from zip archive files present in directories.

When Database has created, it does not yet contain any games. Games are added in background and gowrite use, including database searches, can be done while database is polulated.

Database creation and management can be done from options -> Game Database.

Search result presentation

GOWrite shows search results in structured graphical way.
