You can narrow your search scope to particular topics.
About this task
By default, when you search in the help system, all the topics
shown in the Navigation view are searched. However, you can narrow your search
scope to a particular set of topics by creating a search list and you can
save the search list for future use.
You can create a search list by
performing the following steps:
- Click the Search scope link next to the Search field.
You will access to the Select Search Scope window.
- Select Search only the following topics and
click New. You will see the New Search List window.
- In the List name field, provide a name for
your new search list.
- In the Topics to search list, select the
branches of the Navigation view that you want to include in your search. You
can expand the branches to select the subcategories at the second level of
heading.
- Click OK. Your new search list is now displayed
in the Search only the following topics list. This
option is automatically selected by default. You can click OK to
apply this search list to your subsequent searches.
Restriction: In
some browsers (for example Konqueror and Safari), the save search lists function
is not supported.
What to do next
The current active search list is always displayed at the top
of the browser, next to the Search scope link.
The
latest search list that you created persists each time when you launch the
system.
