Using full-text search in Help

  1. Click the Search tab and then type the word or phrase you want to find
  2. Click List Topics, select the topic you want and then click Display.

    Help highlights each occurrence of the word or phrase in the topic, unless it is in dynamic text sections.

    To remove the highlighter, press F5 (Refresh).

    NOTE: When you are viewing a long topic, only the first 500 instances of the search word or phrase appear highlighted.

You can also use these search options:

  • Search previous results - after a search, select to search just within these results
  • Match similar words - select to find words and their minor grammatical variations.
    For example, a search for the word add finds add, adds and added.
    This options remains selected for the next search.
  • Search titles only - select to search only in topic titles

    NOTE: With this option selected, Help searches all Help topic files, including the ones that are not listed in the table of contents.
