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 |

Queries in background processes
Most background processes issue queries to your RDBMS at regularly scheduled intervals.While these queries already have proper indexes in an out-of-box system, you may consider limiting how often these queries run or eliminating them entirely if your system does not use them. You should review the following background processes to determine how often your system needs to run them:
- Agent (not started in an out-of-box system)
- Marquee (not started in an out-of-box system)
- Lister
You can control how often these background processes run from the Service Manager schedule record. You can set these processes to run infrequently or never run at all if they are not needed. See the Service Manager help for more information.
