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.
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. |
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 |

NNMi provides toolbars for the following types of views:
- Table views toolbar
- Node Group Map and Quick Access toolbar
- Neighbor views toolbar
- Path View toolbar
- Network Overview toolbar

Selects an available node group or interface group filter. | |
The page controls only appears when viewing tables. They let you page through table information by rows. Use Previous or [Page Up] to move up one page. Use Next or [Page Down] to move down one page. Use First or [Home] to move to the top of the table. Use Last or [End] to move to the end of the table. Tip Use the keyboard's keys:
