## Search Tips

- Enter one or more keywords.
- Searches are not case sensitive.
- Do not use "quotes" around keywords.
- You can enter multiple keywords, such as security setting. Or you can enter a Boolean expression, using AND, OR and NOT.
- Multiple keywords entered without a Boolean use the AND expression. Thus, entering security setting is the same as entering security AND setting.
- The search feature does not support finding contiguous words, such as dpl request. However, it will find pages containing both words.
- You can use an expression like security OR setting to find pages containing either keyword.
- You can also use parentheses in Boolean expressions. For example, you can enter (security and setting) or dmconfig.
- You can use the asterisk (*) as a suffix wildcard character in keywords. For example, enter dm* to find pages with keywords such as dmconfig or dm_snacrm.
- After entering the query, click the Find button or press Enter.
- If no matches are found, reword your query and try again.
- If matches are listed, double click a matched entry.
- You can check the option Show in New Window to display the target HTML page in a new browser window. This option allows you to preserve the search page's current results while you check the content of the target HTML page. Use Alt+Tab to switch between open browser windows.
- When the destination HTML page appears, you may want to enter Ctrl+F and use the browser's Find function to locate the keyword on the page.
- On some UNIX platforms, you may encounter a browser error similar to the following:

  `Unable to start a java applet: Can't find 'java40.jar' in your CLASSPATH. Read the release notes and install 'java40.jar' properly before restarting.`

  If the search applet does not work on your UNIX platform, try using the latest Netscape browser for the platform and add the Netscape Java Archive (JAR) file to your CLASSPATH environment variable. The path to the JAR file is in the directory in which you installed Netscape. For example:

  `CLASSPATH=mytools/netscape/communicator/program/java/classes/java40.jar`

  After you revise the CLASSPATH, exit Netscape and then restart Netscape in the updated environment. When you access the search page, the search feature should work properly.
