Find Better Results

When entering search terms use as many relevant terms as possible. The more information you provide helps us to better deliver the information you need.

When looking for a technical term, try using both the full name and the term's acronym.

For example, when looking for information on the Common Management Foundation, try the query Common Management Foundation CMF to get results for documents that mention the concept by either term.

Find Fewer Results

Below the search input field are three search examples that explain how to better define your search.

For example, if your search input is Changing User Passwords, a search using All Words will return a page only if it includes all of the individual words changing, user, and passwords.

A search on "Any Words" will return a page only if it includes any one of the individual words changing, user, or passwords. For example, if your search input is year 2000 Y2K, a search using Any Words will return a page only if it includes any one of the individual words year, 2000, and Y2K.
