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 |

Change the SA patching mode
Depending on your network infrastructure, you can choose to import the Windows patching database into SA either from a WSUS server or from the offline catalog of Microsoft patches.
Unlike the Offline Catalog mode, WSUS patching requires access only to the WSUS server on your network from where it can retrieve both security and non-security updates.
To change your current patching mode:
- Go to Administration > Patch settings and enable either the Offline Catalog or the WSUS option.
- Run a new metadata import to tag all patches in the database with the new patch source. This enables SA to update the patch library and use the right source when importing the binaries for existing patches.
