Searching for help topics

If you can’t find what you need using the contents or index, you can search for words using the Search feature.

The Search feature of this online guide returns results ranked by relevance. The ranking considers frequency (the number of times the words appear in a topic), proximity (how close the words are, when you use more than one word), and importance (if the words appear in topic headings, for example).

When you enter more than one word, all the words you enter must appear in a topic to be considered a match. If you don’t get any results, try removing some words.

Common words (such as “and”, “for”, “that”, and so on) are ignored when you search.
