February 2018 - Enhance Help with Your Browser's Search Feature

Did you know...

... that your browser's Search feature (<Ctrl+F>) can be a handy tool when using AWARDS Online Help?

Online Help comes complete with its own Search tool, accessible from a tab in the upper-left corner of the page.  That search looks through every word in the Help system for a topic or keyword of your choice, and then provides you with a list of relevant topics based on your search criteria.  When a Help page is accessed from the search results, exact matches to your search criteria are highlighted on the page.  But what if you didn't get an exact match and want to narrow in further on a specific piece of information on that page?  Or what if you already know what Help page you need but can't remember where that useful tidbit you'd seen before was located on that page, for instance?  That's where the browser search can come in handy.  Press <Ctrl+F> on your keyboard, enter a search term, and then press <Enter>.  Matching results will then be highlighted for you on the page.  If there is more than one match the browser search will give you navigation options to use to jump from match to match until you find the one you're looking for.  This useful trick even works in the Online Help index!
