Additional Search Information
The Search feature provides the best combination of usefulness and speed:
• The Search feature uses a database of valid words. This database includes all words that are significant for identifying topics and excludes all other words. When you type words in the search text box, the system ignores any invalid words that you have typed and searches for valid words
• The Search feature cannot search for words in a certain order. For example, if you type “TIFF graphics import” as a search entry, Search displays all topics that contains these three words regardless of their location in the topic. The results include topics where the three words appear together as a phrase, and also topics where the three words are scattered throughout the topic.
• The Search feature cannot distinguish between words that are similar but not identical. For example, if you type “capture” as a search entry, Search displays topics that include that word, but it does not find topics that include related words such as “captures” or “capturing.” If a search for a word fails to produce useful results, you might be more successful if you search again using one of the related words.
