When you open Help, the Contents [Content] Tabbed page is displayed on the left by default so that you can open all books and subchapters in a targeted manner.

In the table of contents, truncated headings (recognizable by the "...") are displayed in full length in the tooltip.

The search path shows where you are currently located. This is particularly helpful if you have followed cross-book links.

The path components are links so that you can simply click on them to jump to the relevant chapters.

Click on an arrow in the search path, the chapter.

To search using specifically indexed terms, switch from the Contents [Content] tabbed page to the Index tabbed page.

Tip

Basic difference between full text search (right) and index search (left): The full text search (right) is a "fuzzy" search (similarity search). You will also receive hits if the search term was not exact. This may be desirable, but it can also be annoying. If you want to carry out an exact search, put the search term in quotation marks. Sometimes it is better to limit the search term so as not to unintentionally exclude results. For example, leave out unimportant filler words or use only the core term: Leave out "zum" in the example. For example, search with terms as they are displayed in the tooltip. The index search always searches for the exact term entered. Start the search with the return key after entering just a few letters. You will receive hits if the entered term appears anywhere in the indexed term.

When using the online help, all manuals are loaded and used for the search, which may lead to unwanted hits.

If you work primarily with a specific application such as eCATALOGsolutions, you have the option of switching to using local help and only loading the required manual.
