SUSE LINUX Documentation - Index of

programs, and help texts for other applications. Furthermore, the SUSE Help Center
provides access to SUSE's online databases that cover special hardware and software
issues for SUSE Linux. All these sources can be searched comfortably once a search
index has been generated.
4.1.2 The Search Function
To search all installed information sources of SUSE Linux, generate a search index and
set a number of search parameters. To do this, use the Search tab, shown in Figure 4.2,
“Configuring the Search Function” (page 125).
Figure 4.2 Configuring the Search Function
If no search index has been generated, the system automatically prompts you to do so
when you click the Search tab or enter a search string then click Search. In the window
for generating the search index, shown in Figure 4.3, “Generating a Search Index”
(page 126), use the check boxes to determine the information sources to index. The index
is generated when you exit the dialog with Build Index.
