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 |

Discovered Software
The Discovered Software feature provides a signature-based software discovery mechanism for Windows and UNIX managed servers to help you manage applications and software that are not managed by SA.
Specifically, Discovered Software:
- Discovers unregistered software which is not currently managed by SA.
- Creates an inventory of software that is not installed as part of an OS-registered application, or that was custom built
- Provides system administrators the ability to create snapshots of the discovered software on a server and then periodically audits against the snapshots over time.
- Enables system administrators to track in-house or custom built software.
- Gives auditors a convenient method for discovering unsupported or unlicensed software installed on a server.
To enable this feature, you need to create an “inventory” snapshot of a server, which takes a picture all of the software and application information on the server. Additionally, you can also use an audit to capture the current state of a server’s software installations and, by running the audit on a regular schedule, you can monitor any installation changes over time.
For more information on creating an inventory snapshot, see the SA 10.51
