A basic search of Help topics consists of the word or phrase you want to find. Several options for refining your search are available:
Using words, phrases, and wildcards
Using operators: AND, OR, NOT, and NEAR
Using nested expressions
Some guidelines apply when performing a full-text search:
Searches are case-insensitive; you can type your search in either uppercase or lowercase characters.
Punctuation marks, such as the period (.), colon (:), semicolon (;), comma (,), and hyphen (-), are ignored.
Group the elements of your search using double quotation marks or parentheses. If you are searching for a file name with an extension, group the entire string in double quotation marks, for example, “filename.ext”. Otherwise, the search will treat the period as an AND. The period is a delimiter that breaks the file name into two terms.
To search topics and topic titles using full-text search
In the navigation pane of the HTML Help Viewer, click the Search tab, and then type the word or phrase to find.
To search in topic titles only, select Search titles only.
To refine a search to include only the last group of topics you searched, select Search previous results.
To add Boolean operators to your search, click the right-arrow button.
