About Searching the Help or the Help Center
The Search is always accessible from wherever you are in the Help. Searches are performed using a proprietary search tool. On the Search page, the results appear dynamically as you type. Exact matches are highlighted.
• When you are accessing the Help Center from PTC.com, you can search the Help topics as well as books.
• When you are accessing Help that is installed locally, you can search the Help topics only.
The following search rules apply when you search the Help:
• Boolean—All search words and phrases have an implicit AND.
• Wildcard Search—All search words have an implicit wildcard. For example, if you type extr, your search results will include any string that starts with extr, such as extrude and extra.
• Word Search—For example, a search for round feature finds all Help topics containing both round and feature. The terms do not have to be next to each other.
• Phrase Search—To find an exact phrase, enclose the phrase in quotations. For example, search for “reference model” to find all Help topics containing the exact phrase reference model.
