Search Tips

• Select the type of documents you want to search by using the "Search in:" pull-down menu.
• Click inside the Query input box, and enter one or more keywords. Then click the Find button, or press the Enter key on your keyboard.
• Searches are not case sensitive.
• Do not use "quotes" around keywords.
• You can use an expression like java programming to find only those pages containing both words. The "AND" Boolean expression is used by default.
• You can use an expression like java OR programming to find pages containing either keyword.
• You can also use parentheses in Boolean expressions. For example, you can enter (java and programming) OR translation.
• You can use the asterisk (*) as a suffix wildcard character in keywords. For example, enter java* to find pages with keywords such as java programming or java translation or translation.
• If no matches are found, reword your query and try again.
• If matches are listed, double-click a matched entry.
• The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in some browser versions may be incompatible with the classes used in the search applet. See the BEA WebLogic Java Adapter for Mainframe Release Notes for details about known JVM patches from the browser vendors.
• Note for Microsoft Internet Explorer users: There is a bug in the Microsoft JVM, which affects applets and may affect the performance of this search. Microsoft has issued a patch. A software bug in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 can affect applets, including this documentation search applet. This is a known Microsoft problem and there is a Microsoft patch available. This same bug might affect late builds of the Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x browser. To run the search applet from a web site in Internet Explorer 5.0 you need Microsoft's latest Java Build. The Microsoft Java update can be downloaded from: http://www.microsoft.com/java/download/32updates.htm. This is not a problem for local CD searches.
