Other Helpful Tips

The following tips allow you to enhance the search capabilities of the Help system:

Wildcards

Use the asterisk (*) in a search to represent one or more letters. For example, searching for h*t returns a list of topics that contain pat, pet, pit, pot, and put, while searching for dat* returns a list of topics containing date, data, dateline, and database.

Case Sensitivity

Searches are case insensitive. You can type the word you want to search for in uppercase or lowercase letters, or in a combination of the two, without affecting the results.

Sorting Topics

One search returns up to 500 topics. You can sort the list of topics in ascending order, alphabetically by title or numerically by rank. To sort the list, click the Title or Rank column heading.

Searching for a Phrase

Use double or single quotation marks (" or `) to search for a specific phrase. For example, searching for lunch room (without quotation marks) finds all topics that contain both the word lunch and the word room anywhere in the topic. However, searching for "lunch room" (with quotation marks) finds only those topics that contain the exact phrase lunch room, with the words in precisely the order specified, and no other words between.

Java and COM

When searching for a fully qualified Java or COM name (such as com.exln.dxe.Session or IXlnSession::GetFileData()), you must put the entire name that you want to search for in quotation marks. Otherwise, the periods and colons are treated by the search as OR operators.
