Typing#Hunt and peck

The phrase eagle search system caricatured the less experienced use of typewriters and computer keyboards by persons who are not proficient by the trained Tastschreibens Zehnfingersystem.

The phrase plays on both the circling search of the eagle in search of its prey (ie with a finger circling above the keyboard, aim and strike, English one speaks of hunt and peck typing, chase and strike ') and on the typewriter company Adler (later merged with Triumph to Triumph-Adler ), which produced since 1898 typewriters. She was especially known for their mechanical typewriters bumper type carriers, which were for technical reasons, although popular as portable typewriters, their different attack types but complicated the application of the nascent touch typing.

The phrase is often provided as a supplement named according to " exercise level " as

• Einfinger -Adler search system
• Two finger -Adler search system, etc.

Other pictorial disrespectful names are about partisan method (" every hour with a stop to count " ), system of terror ( " every minute a stop " ) or Columbus Method ( " each letter rediscover ").
