Authoring enhancements
Enhanced Find and Replace
across files. The Find and Replace tool works unobtrusively and supports both wild cards and regular expressions. See
"Find and replace text in
files" on page 134.

Search pod from the View menu and specify URLs for content available outside the Help system (for example, in blogs)
and map them to terms that users are likely to search for. By curating relevant content in this way, you can optimize
the search experience for users and provide easy access to user-generated content. See
page 216.
