Searches are not case-sensitive.
You can identify a search phrase as an exact string by enclosing it in double quotation marks. For example, "log file" searches for the string log file, not the separate words log and file. Without the quotation marks, the search term is interpreted to find instances of both the word log and the word file in the topics.
In English and German only, the search engine "stems" other forms of a single search word. For example, a search for the word challenge, will also find the word challenging. Surround the terms you enter in the search field with double quotation marks when you do not want your search results to include such variations of the terms.
