Search Tips
Use the following operators in your search criteria to narrow search results. Search is not case sensitive.
| Type of Search | Operators to use | Example Search Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Search for a phrase |
“ “ (Quotes). Surround a phrase with " "(double quotes) to limit search results to items that contain the specified words in the exact order that they are entered in the search box. Note: Our help file search does not include common words such as are, a, the, for, and in. Search will not find matches for queries containing these in quotes. |
“roll forward”
Only topics that include the specific phrase roll forward will be included in the search results. |
| Search for two or more specific strings |
Enter one of the following between two search strings to indicate that search results must include both strings:
Note: The default logic is searching for both strings. It is not necessary to enter the above operators if this is the search logic you want to use. |
roll & forward Any topic that includes the words roll and forward in any location in the topic will be included in the search results. |
