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's better to restrict the search term, in order not to exclude results unintentionally. For example, just use the core term or omit unimportant filler words: Here in the example, drop "part". Then you will find "2D comparison" in addition. For example, search with terms used in tooltips. 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 focus on working with a specific application such as eCATALOG 3Dfindit, you have the option of switching to using local help and only loading the desired manual.
