3.1.2. Search

Search using search term

  1. In the Input field Search... the Search term.

  2. Optionally, expand the list field on the right to specify the manuals to be searched. This helps to avoid unwanted hits.

  3. Start the search by clicking on the Return key.

    -> By default, the Contents [Content] Tabbed page is activated on the left. The search results are displayed on the right.

    In this example, the search was only carried out in the ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit manual.

    In this example, the search was only carried out in the ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit manual.

    -> When you click on a result, the corresponding content is displayed on the right and the corresponding chapter is highlighted on the left in the table of contents.

Search by table of contents

When you open the help, the Contents [Content] Tabbed page is displayed on the left by default.

Click on the desired chapter in the table of contents on the left to load the corresponding page on the right.

In the table of content, cut titles (recognizable by ...) are displayed in full length in the tooltip.

Search by index

Select the Index Tabbed page on the left.

Enter a term. You will only receive results if the entered term appears exactly as it does in the index.

[Note]Note

The search distinguishes between upper and lower case.

-> You will now see the corresponding index terms.

Example: Indexes filtered with the term "Partial search"

Example: Indexes filtered with the term "Partial search"

Click on the desired hit.

-> The search result is now displayed on the right.

[Tip]Tip

  • Basic difference between full text search (Tabbed page Contents [Content] ) and index search (Tabbed page Index ):

    The full text search is a "fuzzy" search (similarity search). You will also receive hits if the search term was not exact. This may be desirable, but it can also be annoying.

    If you want to carry out an exact search, put the search term in quotation marks.

    Sometimes it's better to restrict the search term, in order not to exclude results unintentionally.

    For example, just use the core term or omit unimportant filler words:

    Leave out "part" in the example.

    Leave out "part" in the example.

  • For example, search with terms used in tooltips.

  • The index search always searches for the exact term entered. Start the search with the return key after entering just a few letters. You will receive hits if the entered term appears anywhere in the indexed term.
