Search tips

- Multiple search terms find topics with one or more of the terms, and each term gets a different highlight color.

- For an exact multi-word search, enclose the set of terms within quotes to form a single string:

  - work also finds workspace, but `"work"` excludes workspace.
  - request also finds requests and requesting, but `"request"` excludes them.
  - configuration also finds topics with configuring, but `"configuration"` excludes them.
- To customize your search further, add an operator (and, not, or) between search terms:
  - configuration and settings narrows your search and only finds topics that contain both configuration and settings.
  - configuration not settings widens your search and finds topics that contain configuration but not settings, topics that contain settings but not configuration, and excludes topics that contain both.
  - configuration or settings widens your search and finds topics that contain configuration or settings and also topics that contain both configuration and settings.
  - If your search contains an operator that you want to use as a word, enclose the phrase in quotes to tell search not to use it as an operator. For example, not required will return a search format error, but "not required" finds topics that contain not required.
- You can search for any string on a page with CTRL+F on Windows or Command-F on macOS.
