Eagle search system
The phrase eagle search system caricatures the less practiced use of typewriters and computer keyboards by people who are not capable of trained tactile typing using the ten-finger system.
The phrase alludes to both the eagle's circling search motion in search of its prey (i.e., circling, aiming and thrusting with one finger over the keyboard, English is known as hunt and peck typing ) as well as the typewriter company Adler (later merged with Triumph to become Triumph-Adler ), which had been producing typewriters since 1898 . She was especially known namely for its mechanical typewriters bumper type carriers, which for technical reasons as portable typewriters were popular, their different stop of the types but complicated the application of the nascent touch writing.
The idiom is often additionally named as depending on the "level of practice"
- Single finger eagle search system
- Two-finger eagle search system, etc.
Other pictorial, partly disrespectful designations are about partisans method ( "every hour with a stop expected"), terror system ( "every minute a stop") or Columbus method ( "discover a letter and then land").
