Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

JAWS
Service Manager 2018.02 supports different browsers; however, Microsoft Internet Explorer provides the best integration with JAWS and the Service Manager accessible web client (accessible.do and accessible_ess.do). Visually or hearing impaired users can use the Service Manager accessible web client with the out-of-box configuration. If you customize the JAWS advanced configuration settings, you can improve the usability and understanding of the application for some users. For more information, see the JAWS documentation. We do not provide third-party technical support.
Caution JAWS is not supported on the Service Manager standard web client or the Windows client.
