Hi the time-honored Novell-Knownledgebase is a great source for resolving some issues. But how I can write logical search pattern? Exp. iprint AND Hewlett It seems that there is a OR anytime Bernd ---

There’s an almost invisible HELP link on the KB search page: [https://www.novell.com/support/kb/help.html](https://www.novell.com/support/kb/help.html) “Search syntax. By default, two or more search terms separated by spaces are treated as though they are separated by Boolean ‘OR’ operators. In other words search results will be returned if one or more of the search terms are found in documents in the Knowledgebase. For example, if the string groupwise abend were used for the query, those documents containing either groupwise or abend or both would be returned. However, the search also takes into account how close the terms are to each other—the closer they are to each other the higher the weighting. Other search operators such as Boolean ‘AND’ and ‘NOT’ are also available. Search terms may also be grouped into “as is” phrases by surrounding them with double quotes (”"). Get more information about the operators available and the search syntax here." – Kim - 8/23/2018 7:41:50 AM ---

I visit: [https://www.novell.com/support/kb/](https://www.novell.com/support/kb/) and choose ‘NetIQ / Identity Manager’ from the drop-down-list ‘Choose a Product’. I enter “The contents of the clipboard cannot be modified.” And mark Novell and NetIQ (SUSE; Include Archived Documents and Search English Content is NOT marked) Then I get 300 results … I open the first link and search for my string “The contents of the clipboard cannot be modified.” → This string is not in the given page … and so on … :-\ Bernd
