About help system search results

Note the following about how the help system search feature operates:

  • Searches are based on stem words. For example, if you type the word restore, the search returns restoring as well as restore.

  • Searches sometime return the stem word rather than the search term. For example, searching for Orchestration stems to orchestr and thus returns no results. This is expected behavior.

  • Unrelated partial terms are not found. For example, a search for cat:

    • Finds cat and cats.

    • Does not find category because it does not provide enough of the stem word for the search operation to return complete results.

  • Sometimes searches return results based on the metadata matching the stem word rather than a match in the actual help content. In this case, you will not see highlighted terms on the page.
