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 |

Troubleshooting: ODBC error when running Crystal Reports
Crystal Reports cannot sort on fields that contain SQL reserved words such as group. If you receive an ODBC error when running a sort operation in Crystal Reports, then one of the fields in your query contains a SQL reserved word. Review the SQL query and identify any fields that contain a SQL reserved word. For example, you will receive an error if you attempt to sort on the field cm3rm1.group because it contains the SQL reserved word group.
To fix the error, you can create an alias field in the database dictionary to remove the SQL reserved word. For example, you can create the alias field cm3rm1.group_alias that is an alias of the original field cm3rm1.group.
