Search tips

  • Multiple search terms find topics with one or more of the terms, and each term gets a different highlight color.
  • For an exact multi-word search, enclose the set of terms within quotes to form a single string:

    • work also finds workspace, but "work" excludes workspace.
    • request also finds requests and requesting, but "request" excludes them.
    • configuration also finds topics with configuring, but "configuration" excludes them.
  • To customize your search further, add an operator (and, not, or) between search terms:
    • configuration and settings narrows your search and only finds topics that contain both configuration and settings.
    • configuration not settings widens your search and finds topics that contain configuration but not settings, topics that contain settings but not configuration, and excludes topics that contain both.
    • configuration or settings widens your search and finds topics that contain configuration or settings and also topics that contain both configuration and settings.
    • If your search contains an operator that you want to use as a word, enclose the phrase in quotes to tell search not to use it as an operator. For example, not required will return a search format error, but "not required" finds topics that contain not required.
  • You can search for any string on a page with CTRL+F on Windows or Command-F on macOS.
