Searching in the help system

Note: Use quotation marks around search entries for better search capability. For example, enter "Deleting arrays". This also works for message IDs. For example, enter "CMUN03109E".

To search topics in the help system, enter a query in the Search field. The Contents pane displays the top 500 ranked results. Click on a search result to view the topic. The words from your query are highlighted.

To toggle between the navigation tree and the search results list, click the Contents tab () or the Search Results tab () at the bottom on the Contents pane.

Searches are not case-sensitive.

Navigating the help system

The Contents pane () on the left side of the help window displays topics titles in a table of contents or navigation tree structure.  Click topic titles to display content in the pane on the right.
Use the Back () and Forward () buttons to navigate within the history of viewed topics.
To return to the table of contents after running a search, click the Contents tab ()  at the bottom of the pane.

Synchronizing the table of contents

When you follow a link within a topic in the pane on the right, the navigation tree does not automatically change to display and highlight the new topic. To see where the new topic fits in the navigation tree and synchronize the two views, click the Refresh button () or the Show in Table of Contents () button.  The topic title for the currently displayed topic will be highlighted in the navigation tree.
