Open a bookshelf by clicking on its icon. You then see icons representing individual books; open one of them by clicking on its icon. You can search the contents of bookshelves or books by typing a word or phrase in the "Search" field at the bottom of the window and pressing <Enter>. A number will appear next to each bookshelf or book telling you the number of matches in the bookshelf or book. Then you can open the bookshelf or book to find the match. For more information, read further. Or select a section to read from this help book's table of contents by clicking on its title.LBL="2"OverviewThe Novell ElectroText library is structured hierarchically; the Novell library contains bookshelves, which contain books.

You cannot use the following characters in a search word or phrase: < > ( ) =Common words such as "and," "the," and "for" are not indexed. If you include them in your search they are treated as wildcards that match any word at that position in the search phrase.Viewing Search ResultsFrom the Library WindowIf you started the search from the library window, a number appears next to each bookshelf or book indicating the number of matches in that bookshelf or book. To examine the matches in a book, open the bookshelf and then the book. See IDREF="FM13623""From the Book Window" below.ID="FM13623"From the Book WindowAll occurrences of the search word or phrase in the book's text are highlighted.

Select "Show History" from the "Search" menu, select the search that you would like to perform again, then click "Use."ID="FM32520"Using the Advanced Query LanguageYou can include Boolean keywords or wildcards in your search phrase to help you find specific matches. To perform this kind of advanced search, check "Advanced Query Language" on the "Preferences" screen (see IDREF="FM47897""Preferences"). All rules listed above in IDREF="FM58291""Do a Simple Search" still apply when doing an advanced query language search. The only difference is that you can also use Boolean keywords and wildcards. The use of Boolean keywords and wildcards is valid only if you have checked "Advanced Query Language" on the "Preferences" screen (see IDREF="FM47897""Preferences"). If this is not checked, the viewer searches for exactly the phrase that you enter; your search text effectively has quotation marks placed around it. To specify patterns of words or phrases use the following operators (wildcard characters and Boolean keywords).
