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 |

- Checklist: Software license tracking and compliance
What is a software counter?
Software counters enable you to verify that the number of software installations you actually have does not exceed the number authorized by your license. The number of software installations or access rights authorized by a license is indicated by the number of rights.
For certain licenses, the software installation corresponds to the consumption of a certain number of points. For example, a Microsoft Select license specifies that installing Microsoft Word uses 10 points. Therefore, 100 of these installations uses 1,000 points. When you use software installation counters, you can specify if the installation count should also count the number of points allocated to each installation.
