About searching the online help
Using the online help search, you can search for one word or multiple words in the
full text of the FortiGate online help system. Please note the following about the
search:
• If you search for multiple words, the search finds help pages that contain all of
the words that you entered. The search does not find help pages that only
contain one of the words that you entered.
• The help pages found by the search are ranked in order of relevance. The
higher the ranking, the more likely the help page includes useful or detailed
information about the word or words that you are searching for. Help pages
with one or more of the search words in the help page title are ranked highest.
• You can use the asterisk (*) as a search wildcard character that is replaced by
any number of characters. For example, if you search for auth* the search
finds help pages containing auth, authenticate, authentication,
authenticates, and so on.
• In some cases the search only finds exact matches. For example if you search
for windows the search may not find pages containing the word window. You
can work around this using the * wildcard (for example by searching for
window*).
