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 |

Process the NVARCHAR SQL type
Although the upgrade version uses the VARCHAR SQL type for fields, SQL Compare and Upgrade Utility retain the use of the NVARCHAR SQL type after the upgrade. For example, if the SQL type of a field is NVARCHAR(60) in the current version and the SQL type of this field in the upgrade version should be VARCHAR(60), the SQL type of this field will remain NVARCHAR(60) in the upgraded version.
If the current and updated versions of a field have different length SQL types, SQL Compare and Upgrade Utility use the longer length. For example, if the field SQL Type is NVARCHAR(60) in the current version and if the SQL Type of this field in the upgrade version is VARCHAR(100), the SQL Type of this field will be NVARCHAR(100) in the upgraded version.
If you want to tailor the SQL type of a field from VARCHAR to NVARCHAR and retain the same length, be sure to perform tailoring from the database instead of from the Service Manager database dictionary. Otherwise, the tailoring will be ignored by Service Manager.
