Searching the Knowledge Center

Use the built-in capabilities of the KC (knowledge center) search to get what you need, fast! Case is ignored in the operators and the search terms.

Search Functions

  • AND (string1 string2...) or (string1 and string2 and...): Using no operator returns all pages containing all of the search terms. There is an implicit and so you get the same result with no operator as you do with and. You can also use operators + or & to get the same result).

    Example: corporate network policy returns all pages containing corporate and network and policy

  • OR (string1 or string2 or...): The widest search - using or returns all pages containing any of the search terms. You can use operator | to get the same result.

    Example: corporate or network or policy returns all pages containing corporate or network or policy

  • STRING ("string"): Using double quotes returns all pages containing the search term exactly as written. Don’t use single quotes.

    Example: “corporate network policy” returns all pages containing corporate network policy

  • EXCLUDE: (string1 (string2... ^ string3 or (string4...): Using carat ^ excludes search terms from your results. Use the carat ^ only once in the query. Everything to the left is found and everything to the right is removed. Combine it with other operators as required.

    Example: corporate ^ network policy returns all pages containing corporate excluding pages containing both network and policy

  • PARENTHESES: Combining parentheses with other operators lets you encapsulate different sections of your search query.

    Example: (cluster policy ^ corporate) or "corporate network policies" returns all pages containing cluster policy excluding corporate, or containing corporate network policies
