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 |

Example: Add a Bomgar live chat
Service Request Catalog supports integration only with a Bomgar™ chat solution. As such, you must independently purchase a Bomgar™ chat solution for your organization. For more information about the Bomgar API and API documentation, visit www.bomgar.com.
A live chat interface can enhance your catalog support strategy. If a user has a question about an item or a request, live chat support provides immediate assistance. You can embed a live chat link at the top of the Dashboard, Services, or Support landing pages. The link launches a chat window in a new tab or window, depending on the user's browser settings. To create a live chat link from the Dashboard, Services, or Support pages, follow these steps.
