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 |

Set Web client preferences from the server
You can define global Web client preferences from the Web configuration file (web.xml). This file contains global preferences that you can change by editing the file with any text or XML editor. Any changes you make to this file must conform to XML syntax requirements.
The settings you define in the web.xml file determine the default client preferences for all Web clients. Users can override some preferences however, directly from the URL. See the comments in the web configuration file for information about which preferences users can set from the URL.
You must have administrative access to the server operating system to use this procedure.
- Open the
web.xmlfile in a text editor.
This file is located in thesm/WEB-INFfolder of your application server installation. - Add or edit the preferences in the file.
- Save the file and restart the Web application server.
All Web clients that log in to the Service Manager server use the new client preferences you defined.
