Use Searches
Use the Search tab to find relevant topics based on keywords that you enter.
The basic search rules are as follows:
■ Type your keywords in uppercase or lowercase characters; searches are not case-sensitive.
■ Search for any combination of letters (a-z) and numbers (0-9).
■ Do not use punctuation marks such as a period, colon, semicolon, comma, hyphen, and single quotation
marks; they are ignored during a search.
■ Group the elements of your search using double quotation marks or parentheses to set each element apart.
Use Wild Card Characters
You can use the following wild card characters in any keyword:
Description Symbol
Replaces one or more characters when
used at the beginning, middle, or end of *
a word. For example, “*lish”, “p*lish”, and
“pub*” will all find “publish”. Also, “an-
no*” will find “annotative”, “annotation”,
“annoupdate”, “annoreset”, and so on.
Replaces a single character. For example,
“cop?” will find “copy”, but not “copy-
base”. ?
Expands the tense of the word at the be-
ginning or end of a word. For example, ~
“plotting~” will find “plots”, “plotted”,
and so on. Also, “~plot” will find “preplot”,
“replot”, and so on.
Search for Phrases
When searching for a phrase, use double quotation marks (" ") to enclose words that must appear next to each
other in the specified sequence. For example, enter
"specifying units of measurement" to find only topics with
all those words in that order. If you don't use the quotation marks around that text, Help finds all topics containing
any one of the listed words, that is, all topics containing "specifying", all topics containing "units", all topics
containing "of", and all topics containing "measurement".

Use Boolean Operators
With the AND, OR, NOT, and NEAR operators, you can precisely define your search by creating a relationship
between search terms. The following table shows how you can use each of these operators. If no operator is
