Search Methods and Syntax

In the INCA Help search field, you have several options for specifying your search:

Full-Text Search

The INCA help scans all of the target content and creates a database index for search. When you enter a search query, the search engine in the index retrieves a list of topics with matches. The INCA help search results include these matches:

Case-insensitive matches:
Search is not case-sensitive. For example, a search for the word "run" will find matches for "Run" and "run."
Matches with variant endings:
For example, a search for the word "run" will also find matches for words such as, "runner," "running," and "runs." Since matches are not case-sensitive, the results will include topics containing matches such as, "Runner," "Running," and "Runs."

Phrase Search

You can search for phrases by enclosing their search terms in quotation marks. This is useful when you want to restrict a search to locate terms that appear in an exact order. For example, you might want to search for a phrase such as "measure variable".

Boolean Operators

The INCA help search supports boolean operators, such as AND, OR, NOT, and ( ).

Instead of the word AND, type the plus symbol + or the ampersand symbol &.
Instead of the word OR, type the pipe symbol |.
Use the NOT operator to find topics that contain one term but not the other. Type a term, followed by the carat symbol ^, and then type another term.
Use parentheses to combine boolean phrases and search terms. Type parentheses ( ) around the combined terms.
