Searching the help contents
When you view the help contents, you can search the local help to find further information.
Before you begin
Start your search from the search entry field in the Help Contents window.
Procedure
- To search for a single word expression, type it in the search field then click Go. The search results are displayed in another pane as a list of links to the topics that contain the search word. You can display or hide the result descriptions by clicking the Show results descriptions icon.
- To search for a multiple word expression, type the expression in the search field and enclose it by double quotes, for example "CICS region", then click Go. The search will return only results that contain the complete expression. If you do not enclose the expression in double quotes, the search finds all instances of the words in the expression, whether or not they are together.
What to do next
If you want to search a supported information center, the web, or an intranet site with an internal search facility, you must set your search scope to include the relevant search types. To do this, you use the search pane in the dynamic Help view. See the relevant related link for further information.
