The search results are displayed in the navigation area, replacing the table of contents. When you select a topic from the search results list, optionally use Show in Table of Contents on your information center border to show the location of the topic in the table of contents.

Searching part of the documentation

To include only part of the documentation topics in your search, perform an Advanced search.

Information center advanced search

Clicking Advanced search displays a dialog box in which you can enter the search terms and select a subset of the documentation in which to look for the terms.

Note that when you leave the Advanced search dialog box, the search scope reverts to "all documentation."

The Advanced search is also where you can use operators such as *,?, and OR. See the following details.

   
Removing search highlighting

The search highlighting feature highlights the occurrences of your search terms in a topic you selected from the search results list. When many occurrences of your search terms exist in a topic, the search highlighting feature can disrupt your reading.

To remove the highlighting from a topic, locate the topic in the table of contents, using Show in Table of Contents.

Show in Table of Contents

Select the topic from the table of contents. The topic is reloaded into the content area, with the highlighting removed.
