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 |

Accessibility
When Section 508 became an addendum to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, it required United States federal agencies to make electronic and information technology usable by anyone with a disability. The Service Manager web client meets this requirement.
The web client provides support for accessibility in the final software product. When software contains these accessibility features, assistive technology vendors can customize the look-and-feel of the software to support non-visual presentation with audio or with other devices.
For more information about the Service Manager statement of compliance with respect to Section 508 of the ADA, and for details relating to the specific accessibility requirements of that regulation, go to the Micro Focus Support website.
