Chapter 5: Navigation Basic Operation 5.11 Multi-Word Indexing The Magellan RoadMate employs a search feature known as "Multi-Word Indexing". This feature enables you to search the database for possible matches based on the characteristics that have been entered. The returned matches will start with the characters that have been entered. For example: You are searching for a street called "Red Barn Lane". Rather than spelling the entire name of the street, you can simply enter "Red". The Magellan RoadMate will return all database entries containing the word 'Red' as part of the street name. The returned list is subject to the additional parameters set by the search, such as the town or county that was entered. The database only indexes the base names of streets. In the example above, only the words "Red" and "Barn" will be indexed. When entering street names, do not enter prefixes such as "N" or "North" unless the whole word is part of the street name. By entering "N" the search will return all streets starting with the letter "N". Also, do not enter suffixes such as "St" or "Ave" or "Rd" unless the whole word is part of the street name. By entering "St" the search will return all words starting with "St". • Town names and Points of Interest are also Multi-Word Indexed in the same way as street names. By entering the letters 'Port' or 'Talbot' a list of town names containing these words, one of which will be Port Talbot, will be returned. Entering part of a POI name will return all POIs within the selected category which contain the letters or text that you are searching for. 16

5.11 Multi-Word Indexing
The Magellan RoadMate employs a search feature known as “Multi-Word Indexing”. This feature enables you to search the
database for possible matches based on the characteristics that have been entered. The returned matches will start with the
characters that have been entered. For example:
You are searching for a street called “Red Barn Lane”. Rather than spelling the entire name of
the street, you can simply enter “Red”. The Magellan RoadMate will return all database entries
containing the word 'Red' as part of the street name
. The returned list is subject to the
additional parameters set by the search, such as the town or county that was entered.
The database only indexes the base names of streets. In the example above, only the words
“Red” and “Barn” will be indexed.
When entering street names, do not enter prefixes such as “N” or “North” unless the whole word is part of the street name.
By entering “N” the search will return all streets starting with the letter “N”.
Also, do not enter suffixes such as “St” or “Ave” or “Rd” unless the whole word is part of the street name. By entering “St”
the search will return all words starting with “St”.

Town names and Points of Interest are also Multi-Word Indexed in the same way as street names. By entering the letters
‘Port’ or ‘Talbot’ a list of town names containing these words, one of which will be Port Talbot, will be returned.
Entering part of a POI name will return all POIs within the selected category which contain the letters or text that you
are searching for.
