The Search field in particular is a fast way to find terms and examples, and supports the following options:
Wildcard search
Use an asterisk * to represent a sequence of characters such that the term you entered can either be the whole or a part of the results displayed. For example:
- Searching for “process*” will display “process” as well as results like “processes”, “processing”, etc.
- Searching for “*process” will display “process” as well as results like “postprocess”, “preprocess”, etc.
- Searching for “*process*” will display “process” as well as results like “preprocessed”, “postprocessing”, etc.
Omit words You can omit words in your search by putting a minus - sign in front of the word to omit. For example, typing “cylindrical -coordinates” would omit results that contain the word “coordinates”, so your results would only include terms like “cylindrical capacitor”, etc.
All searches are case insensitive.
