In the search results list, click the applicable topic to open it.

Example
Before you search a page (when you press the CTRL+F keys, or use the browser Find option), click the Expand all button from the top toolbar to expand all collapsed items.

This opens all collapsed (closed) elements on the page.

Example

The search field in the book is not case-sensitive.

When you separate search words with a blank space in the search field, the search always uses the boolean AND operator.

To search for a phrase (specific words that must appear together) in the search field, enclose the search phrase in double quotation marks.

Such search also supports the leading or trailing whitespace characters.

In the search field, you can search for specific words that must appear in the same topic file.

Example

Use one of these operators between all the search words:

Operator	Examples
The boolean AND operator	`cat AND dog And mouse` `cat And dog and mouse` `cat and dog and mouse`
The plus symbol (+)	`cat + dog + mouse`
The ampersand symbol (&)	`cat & dog & mouse`

Operator

Examples

The boolean AND operator

cat AND dog And mouse

cat And dog and mouse

cat and dog and mouse

The plus symbol (+)

cat + dog + mouse

The ampersand symbol (&)

cat & dog & mouse

Important - If an HTML skin appears in a language other than English, you must still write the boolean AND operator in English.

In the search field, you can search for topic files that contain any of the specific words.

Example

Use one of these operators between all the search words:

Operator	Examples
The boolean OR operator	`cat OR dog` `cat Or dog` `cat or dog or mouse`
The pipe symbol (\|)	`cat \| dog \| mouse`

Operator

Examples

The boolean OR operator

cat OR dog

cat Or dog

cat or dog or mouse

The pipe symbol (|)

cat | dog | mouse

Important - If an HTML skin appears in a language other than English, you must still write the boolean OR operator in English.

In the search field, you can search for topic files that contain the specific words and do not contain other specific words.

Example

Use one of these operators to exclude the specific search words (the search excludes the word that appears after the operator):

Operator	Examples
The boolean NOT operator	`cat NOT dog` `cat Not dog` `cat not dog` `cat ! dog`
The boolean XOR operator	`cat ^ dog`

Operator

Examples

The boolean NOT operator

cat NOT dog

cat Not dog

cat not dog

cat ! dog

The boolean XOR operator

cat ^ dog

Important - If an HTML skin appears in a language other than English, you must still write the boolean NOT operator in English.

To combine search words and search operators in the search field, use parentheses ( ).

The search field supports partial word search when you enter between 3 and 10 characters.

The partial word search ignores the leading or trailing whitespace characters.
The search field does not support wildcards (*, ?, .) or regular expressions.

The search field ignores specific words.
