[Docu] Ability to search on character string - ALL products

Would like to be able to search on a string of characters, to get to relevantdocumentation more easily & quickly. For example searching on 'command ID' gives many results for 'command', and many for 'ID'.

    As there were no complaints whatsoever since 2023-May, I consider this idea as being solved.
    Cheers, Jürgen

    The previous answer means:

    • It works within a given product's documentation set, i.e. ADA701

    • It works for the online webpage as well as any downloaded version

    • It DOES NOT cover to search over all documentation sets in the documentation portal

    Question to you:

    Is the status quo solving your problem?

    Thanks and cheers,
    Jürgen

    From Documentation department:

    It is possible to use search strings inside a doc set (e.g. https://documentation.softwareag.com/adabas/ada701luw/overview.htm). You just have to include your search string inside standard quotation marks ("<search_string>").

    For example a search in the above linked doc set using "direct call" as a search string will get you 9 results, while a search for "ACBX direct call" will narrow that down to 1 result.

    However, this does not yet work on a higher level (complete doc website for example).

    In other words: We have a partial successful implementation.
