Find

The newest method of searching is called Find. Find works similar to Index in the fact that you can type in the item that you're looking for. However, by using Find, you are looking for a reference to that item anywhere in the help system. It is quite possible to find the word in a help document that has absolutely nothing to do with it. As an example, if we were to type "window" as the item we're looking for, this is what the computer would display:

As you can see, there are 234 topics in which the word "window" (or a derivative of the word) appears. In section 2, you can narrow down the search by choosing one derivative of the word. If we choose "Window" as our option, that reduces the number of found topics to 6. This will make it easier to zero in on the topic.
