You can perform a full-text search on the documentation installed as online help, Oracle Technology Network (OTN), and the Fusion Middleware and Database Online Documentation Libraries.
To do a full-text search from the Help Center:
Select Search in the Help menu. The Help Center opens.
Enter the word or phrase you are searching for in the Search field.
Optionally, click the Search Options icon to define search criteria and narrow the search results.
By default, Local Documentation and the Fusion Middleware library are selected.
Note: The search criteria set in the Search Options menu only apply to the online help search.
Set the other search options as needed; these apply only to the online help search.
Click Start search or press Enter.
The Search Results page opens in the help viewer area, with the titles and sources of each matching document, as well as the beginning text.
Double-click the title of the help page to select it.
Each help page displays in a separate page and the Search Results page remains available. OTN and Documentation Library pages open in your default browser.
Using the Boolean Expressions option
You can use Boolean expressions in your search. The Boolean expressions search option is a recursive tree structure for expressing search criteria involving boolean expressions. The BooleanExpression is based on the following grammar:
BooleanExpression ::
BooleanExpression AND BooleanExpression
BooleanExpression OR BooleanExpression
BooleanExpression NOT BooleanExpression
BooleanExpression + BooleanExpression
BooleanExpression - BooleanExpression
+ BooleanExpression
- BooleanExpression
NOT BooleanExpression
StringExpression (base case)
The tree is built in such a way that StringExpressions are the leaf items and the expressions occupy the branch items. For example Oracle Discoverer AND Browser OR Query are parsed into:
AND
/ \
Oracle Discoverer OR
/ \
Browser Query
