Recognition manual is actually the dialog under your periscope view. When you lock target, there appears hyperlinks where you can click the name of the vessel (Freighter for example). When you click that, a ship image appears over the dialog, you can roll through different images with your mouse wheel and when you have the match, click check box under the image to confirm identification. Then click back for other hyperlinks where you can input all other needed data for the solution.
I warmly recommend you to download Reaper7's fantastic enchanced recognition manual and his Hires ui, or TheDarkwraiths UI (there is also option for Reaper7's recog manual). This recog. manual you have to drag from the left side of the screen where it's partially hidden.
With those search patterns I can't help, I don't use them, but I think I've read that they are bugged and won't work.
I use also Skwas's Speech recognition, that's a very nice mod, one of the best! I've added many new commands and variations to make it accept more "natural" commands and making it less monotonous. For example, if I shout "Fire torpedo!" too eagerly and it is not recognized, I've added "Fire, god damn it!" or for the nearest sound contact request I have many variations to ask it: "Hydrophone, report", "Where's the enemy now?", "Where is it now?", "And now?" Makes it so much more fun and immersive to have many alternatives to give the same order!
