Using the online help search, you can search for one word or multiple words in the full text
of the FortiGate online help system. Please note the following:
• If you search for multiple words, the search finds only those help pages that contain all
of the words that you entered. The search does not find help pages that only contain
one of the words that you entered.
• The help pages found by the search are ranked in order of relevance. The higher the
ranking, the more likely the help page includes useful or detailed information about the
word or words that you are searching for. Help pages with the search words in the help
page title are ranked highest.
• You can use the asterisk (*) as a search wildcard character that is replaced by any
number of characters. For example, if you search for auth* the search finds help pages
containing auth, authenticate, authentication, authenticates, and so on.
• In some cases the search finds only exact matches. For example, if you search for
windows the search may not find pages containing the word window. You can work
around this using the * wildcard (for example by searching for window*).
