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. |

Stored queries
Stored queries enable users to retrieve and display current information efficiently by using predefined search parameters. Depending on permissions, users can run predefined queries, modify predefined queries before running them, or store a personal list of modified queries and run a query from their list.
Administrators can use stored queries to display lists of specific records or populate dynamic display objects such as charts and marquees. They can add new queries and fine tune the out-of-box queries to decrease response time or implement best practices in their environment.
