All Files is the default; however All Files can pull topics from another product's help. For example a search term found in both the Moab and the Torque product documentation. To limit your search results to all topics for the specific topic, select the search filter set with the product’s name.
You can change search terms to make searches more broad or narrow to locate a desired topic. Some examples of search terms and matching topics are shown in the table below.
Search has some peculiarities in the way it handles variants of a search term. For example, a search for the word "templates" also matches topics containing the word "template", but only instances of "templates" will be highlighted in the topic. It is usually better to search for the basic form of the word (for example, template), unless you want a particular variant. If so, search for the variant by placing it in quotes (for example, "variants").
