• When you are accessing Help from www.ptc.com, you can set the search filters to narrow or broaden your search. In addition to the filters that you can set in the Help Center, you can take advantage of the powerful Google Custom Search functionality.

• When you are accessing Help that is installed locally, you are searching the Help Center only and using a proprietary search tool. Filters cannot be set for Help that is installed locally. The following search rules apply when searching the Help locally:

◦ Boolean—All search words and phrases have an implicit AND.

◦ Word Search—For example, a search for round feature finds all Help topics containing 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.

◦ Wildcard Search—For example, if you search for extr*, your search results will include any string that starts with extr, such as extrude and extra. Searching for extr without the asterisk, returns the string extr only.

◦ Boolean—All search words and phrases have an implicit AND.

◦ Word Search—For example, a search for inset gallery finds all Help topics containing inset and gallery. 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 “page setup” to find all Help topics containing the exact phrase page setup.

◦ Wildcard Search—For example, if you search for locali*, your search results will include any string that starts with locali, such as localization and localized. Searching for locali without the asterisk, returns the string locali only.
