A basic search using the Search tab consists of the word or phrase you want to find. The basic search rules are as follows:

• Type your search 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 the 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.

Note: When you use the Search tab, all topics that contain the word or phrase that you specify are listed. This includes the text in topic titles and labels, not just the topic text.
