This provides procedures for using natural language to search the airline arrival application from several client interfaces. Answers Anywhere is case sensitive, so formulate queries with case in mind.
Using natural language to search (Web interface)
This example shows how to use natural language search through a Web interface on online mode.
Open a second Web browser window in Internet Explorer, and type the following in the Location field, substituting your machine, domain, and port numbers.
http://hostname.domain:port/onepage/askua.jsp
For example:
http://lab2k.sybase.com:4040/onepage/askua.jsp
Log in using masuper/m8super.
Under Ask Unwired Anywhere, type get
arrivals for United, and click Ask. The desired
information displays.
Jot down a detail such as a flight number or a gate
number, and use the information to enter a variation such as get
arrivals for United Flight # 179 or get
arrivals for United Gate 77 or what
is the Gate for United Flight A1575 or lookup
status for American Flight A78.
Using natural language to search (PDA interface)
This example shows how to use natural language search using an M-Business Anywhere client, such as a PDA.
Access the Unwired Accelerator application on your PDA.
Select AskUA from the menu.
Enter get arrivals for United,
and select Find. The Sync completed message displays when synchronization
is finished.
Select OK. The application data displays.
Optionally, select Save Question/Answer. This creates a shortcut on the screen, so you can launch the query again with no typing.
Using natural language to search (e-mail interface)
This example shows how to use natural language search through an e-mail interface. You need an Answers Anywhere e-mail client as described in the Unwired Accelerator Installation Guide.
Launch your e-mail client.
Compose a new e-mail message:

e-mail
