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.
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. |
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 |

Files to Scan sub-tab |
Enables you to specify how much information is collected about files and the checking processes used.
Note Using the options on this page, it is possible to define which files get their signature calculated and collected, based on criteria such as file extension, attributes or size. Only files that have signatures enabled are opened and are available for further processing. If a copy of the file name is all that is required, use the following command.
The file name, size and attributes may still be picked up in the scan file but no signatures are calculated. This greatly reduces scanning time, but because less data is collected, application recognition accuracy may be adversely affected. |
