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 |

Database Manager
Any file accessed by the Database Manager automatically uses the rules and processes defined for the corresponding Object. If no Object has been defined for the file, it uses the DEFAULT Object. The DEFAULT Object duplicates the functionality of the earlier versions of the Database Manager.
A System Administrator may also access a file that has a corresponding Object via the DEFAULT Object by accessing the file through Database Manager with the “Administration Mode” check box marked. This check box is available for System Administrators only.
The Document Engine uses environment profiles. In previous versions of the system, a System Administrator was granted all rights (add, update, delete.), regardless of the format control settings. With the Document Engine, the rights granted match those defined in the format control record. Administrators that prefer the old method of granting rights can simply modify the “Profile Application” setting in the DEFAULT Object record from “db.environment” to “db.environment.sysadmin”.
