Search Tab

TIP: To Search any topic for a keyword, press Ctrl and F.

The following rules apply for using full-text search:

  • Searches are not case-sensitive.

  • You can search for any combination of letters (a-z) and numbers (0-9).

  • Punctuation marks (period, colon, semicolon, comma, and hyphen) are ignored during a search.

  • You can group the words of your search using double quotes or parentheses. Examples: "response calibration" or (response calibration). This requirement makes it impossible to search for quotation marks.

  • Use Wildcard expressions:

    • To search for one undefined character use a question mark (?). For example, searching for cal? will find calc and calf.

    • To search for more than one undefined character use an asterisk (*). Searching for Cal* will find calibration and calculate.

  • Use Boolean operators to define a relationship between two or more search words.
