In addition to using the help Search function, you may choose to search for a word or phrase in the table of contents or within a topic using your browser's Find function. With both Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer, the Find function is activated by pressing CTRL+F on the keyboard:
| • | In Mozilla Firefox, after pressing CTRL+F on the keyboard, a find bar with a text box appears in the bottom of the browser window. Enter the term you wish to search for in the text box. Activate the checkbox labeled Match case to find only instances of the phrase that match the case exactly. As you type, Firefox will highlight the first instance in the table of contents or in the help topic of an exact match for what you have entered. (If you click the option labeled Highlight all, all instances of the entered term will be highlighted.) Click Next or Previous to continue on to another instance of the phrase. If there is no match for the character string you have entered in the find box, the text in the find box will be highlighted in red. The find bar will remain at the bottom of the browser window until you close the bar by clicking the "x" on the left side of the bar. |
| • | If you are using Internet Explorer, you must first click in the frame in which you wish to search for a term. Press CTRL+F on your keyboard to display a Find dialog. Enter the term you wish to search for in the text box. Click the option labeled Match whole word only to find only instances wherein the entered character string matches an entire word, as opposed to instances wherein the character string might be only part of a word. Click the option labeled Match case to find only instances of the phrase that match the case exactly. Click ENTER to highlight the first instance of an exact match for what you have entered in the frame you have chosen to search. Click Next or Previous to continue on to another instance of the phrase. If there is no match for the character string you have entered in the Find dialog, a message appears informing you that the entered text was not found in the file. Click the "x" button in the Find dialog to close the window. |
| Note: | If you click off of the Find dialog during your search and wish to continue your search, you must press CTRL+F again to display the Find window. |
