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 |

Patch Availability |

Windows Patch Downloads |
This section contains information about the Windows patch database used in SA:
In WSUS mode, filtering by patch product and locale is done on the WSUS server side. SA only displays the read-only list of products and locales selected by the WSUS administrator. |
Windows Patch Utilities |
In Offline Catalog patching mode, SA requires the Windows Patch utilities to deploy the latest version of the Microsoft Update agent onto the managed servers. Windows Update Agent (WUA) scans computers for security updates without connecting to Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server. |
