Search tips

To search for information in the Help, enter a word or phrase in the Search box.

When you enter a group of words, the AND operator is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search. Results returned are case insensitive.

Search for Example Results
A single word cat Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".

A phrase

"cat food" (quotation marks)

Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food".

Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an AND operator, which finds topics with both of the individual words instead of the phrase.
