 You then need to create the database that sisu will use, for sisu manual in the directory manual/en for example, (when you try to populate a database that does not exist sisu prompts as to whether it exists):
 
 ``` code
-createdb SiSUv6a_manual

 SiSU is then able to create the required tables that allow you to populate the database with documents in the directory for which it has been created:

 1~search_intro SiSU Search - Introduction
 ={ SiSU search }
 
-SiSU output can easily and conveniently be indexed by a number of standalone indexing tools, such as Lucene, Hyperestraier.
-
 Because the document structure of sites created is clearly defined, and the text object citation system is available hypothetically at least, for all forms of output, it is possible to search the sql database, and either read results from that database, or map the results to the html or other output, which has richer text markup.
 
 SiSU can populate a relational sql type database with documents at an object level, including objects numbers that are shared across different output types. Making a document corpus searchable with that degree of granularity. Basically, your match criteria is met by these documents and at these locations within each document, which can be viewed within the database directly or in various output formats.
 
+SiSU can populate an sql database (sqlite3 or postgresql) with documents made up of their objects. It also can generate a cgi search form that can be used to query the database.
+
+In order to use the built in search functionality you would take the following steps.
+
+_* use sisu to populate an sql database with with a sisu markup content
+
+_1* sqlite3 should work out of the box
+
+_1* postgresql may require some initial database configuration
+
+_* provide a way to query the database, which sisu can assist with by
+
+_1* generating a sample ruby cgi search form, required (sisu configuration recommended)
+
+_1* adding a query field for this search form to be added to all html files (sisu configuration required)

-SiSU feeds sisu markupd documents into sql type databases PostgreSQL~{ http://www.postgresql.org/ \\ http://advocacy.postgresql.org/ \\ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postgresql }~ and/or SQLite~{ http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/ \\ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sqlite }~ database together with information related to document structure.
+2~ Populate the database
+={ SiSU search:populate database }
+
+TO populate the sql database, run sisu against a sisu markup file with one of the following sets of flags
+
+``` code
+sisu --sqlite filename.sst
+```
+
+creates an sqlite3 database containing searchable content of just the sisu markup document selected
+
+``` code
+sisu --sqlite --update filename.sst
+```
+
+creates an sqlite3 database containing searchable content of marked up document(s) selected by the user from a common directory
+
+``` code
+sisu --pg --update filename.sst
+```
+
+fills a postgresql database with searchable content of marked up document(s) selected by the user from a common directory
+
+For postgresql the first time the command is run in a given directory the user will be prompted to create the requisite database, at the time of writing the prompt sisu provides is as follows:
+
+``` code
+no connection with pg database established, you may need to run:
+    createdb "SiSU.7a.current"
+  after that don't forget to run:
+    sisu --pg --createall
+  before attempting to populate the database
+```
+
+The named database that sisu expects to find must exist and if necessary be created using postgresql tools. If the database exist but the database tables do not, sisu will attempt to create the tables it needs, the equivalent of the requested #{sisu --pg --createall}# command.
+
+Once this is done, the sql database is populated and ready to be queried.

 This is one of the more interesting output forms, as all the structural data of the documents are retained (though can be ignored by the user of the database should they so choose). All site texts/documents are (currently) streamed to four tables:
