Performing a quick search

You can find text within a single topic or a topic and its subtopics.

To perform a quick search in the Navigation view:

  1. Click Search Topics (Search topics) on the toolbar of the Navigation view to display the menu.
    • To search only in the selected topic, click Search this topic.
    • To search through the selected topic and all of its subtopics, click Search this topic and all subtopics.
  2. In the search dialog box, enter the query in the Search field and click OK.
If you search only in a single topic and your search strings are matched, the topic is displayed automatically. The Search this topic dialog box closes automatically regardless of the search results.
Restriction: When you use the quick search method to search only a single topic, the search highlighting is always on and you cannot use the Highlight button to switch on and off the highlighting.

If you search a topic and its subtopics, and your search terms are matched, the Search Results view displays the top 500 ranked results. You can select a search result to display that topic. The words from your query are highlighted in the displayed topic. The Search this topic and all subtopics dialog box does not close until you click Cancel or close the dialog window.
