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 |

Validation script for a new setting
When you add an additional setting you have the ability to create simple or complex validations for the setting using JavaScript. The JavaScript automatically sets up an XML variable named result, which has a child node named message. If the value of the result node is 0 (zero), the validation has succeeded. Any non-zero result is interpreted as a failure. When a validation fails, the contents of the message node display. The value of the setting being validated is set to a variable named value.
Example:
This example validates that the setting is a number between 1 and 10.
if ( value < 1 || value > 10 )
{
result.setValue( -1 );
message.setValue(“The value must be between 1 and 10.”);
}
