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 |

Service packs, update rollups, and hotfixes
When you try to install a Service Pack, Update Rollup, or a Hotfix, there is a known delay when a confirmation dialog displays. Since the SA Agent is installing or uninstalling the patch, it cannot respond to the confirmation dialog. The Agent will time out an installation or uninstallation process if you do not click OK in the confirmation dialog.
- For Hotfixes, the Agent will time out if five minutes have lapsed and you have not clicked OK in the confirmation dialog.
- For Service Packs and Update Rollups, the Agent will time out if 60 minutes have lapsed and you have not clicked OK in the confirmation dialog.
To prevent this from happening, patch install and uninstall commands should have arguments that invoke silent mode installs and uninstalls. By default, the -q flag is set.
