Expanding a search
To search for a complex term, use "*" as a wildcard. The asterisk stands for any character in
any quantity
● Example: Searching for "*alarms" locates all topics containing the following words:
"Alarms," "system alarms" "analog alarms" and "discrete alarms".
Note
In addition to the "*", the search item must contain at least one other non-wildcard character.
If you do not know the exact spelling of a term or you are searching for a series of terms, use
"?" as a wildcard. The question mark stands for any single character at this position.
● Example: Searching for "T?p?" locates all topics containing the following words: "Type",
"Tips", but not "Types".
Full-text search
To perform a full-text search, use quotation marks.
● Example: The "configuring graphic" search string returns all topics containing these words.
Search with Boolean expressions
You can perform a search with a logic operation by linking the search strings with the Boolean
operators AND, OR, NEAR or NOT. Click the arrow next to "Enter search strings".
● Example: The search string "graphic" AND "configuring" returns all topics containing the
word "graphic" and the word "configuring".
● Example: The search string "graphic" OR "configuring" returns all topics containing either
the word "graphic" or the word "configuring," or both.
● Example: The search string "graphic" NOT "function key" returns all topics containing the
word "graphic" but not the term "function key".
● Example: The search string "graphic" NEAR "configuring" returns all topics containing the
word "graphic" and, within the next eight words, the word "configuring," or vice versa.
Note
When a search string contains one of the words AND, OR, NEAR, or NOT, the search item
is interpreted as a Boolean expression. To nest a Boolean expression, use parentheses.
Example: ("Graphic" AND "configuring") OR ("Graphic" NOT "function key").
Search for similar words
To search for words with similar spelling, enable "Search for similar words".
● Example: When "Search for similar words" is enabled, the search string "Mayor" returns all
topics containing the words "Mayer," "Moyer," and "Meyor".
