10.3.1 Searching

The top-right of the screen provides a search-form. The search string typed is searched as a substring and case-insensitive. Multiple strings separated by spaces search for the intersection. Searching for objects that do not contain a string is written as -<string>. A search for adjacent strings is specified as "<string>". Here are some examples:

load fileSearches for all objects with the strings load and file.
load -fileSearches for objects with load, but without file.
"load file"Searches for the string load file.

The two radio-buttons below the search box can be used to limit the search. All searches both the application and manuals. Searching for Summary also implies Name.
