18 Search Function Users can search for specific terms within the current collection or manual by entering it in the search bar and clicking on the search button.

A. Search Input, the user may enter: a. simple search string b. advanced search [wildcard, Boolean, proximity or boost search] within the manual (please refer below for proper syntax for advanced search) B. Click link to activate Advanced Search Mode C. Displays the number of results being displayed on the current page and the total number of results for the search query D. Pagination allows user to skip pages and view results further down [lower] in relevancy 18 P age

19 E. Next button to view next page of results F. Allows the user to control number of results to be displayed in a single results page G. Link to the page block for the search results hit. Clicking will open the page block in a new tab. Advanced Search A. In Advanced Mode the user may select to perform a search across multiple manuals. Hold Ctrl key down while selecting, or hold Shift key down to select a range of manuals 19 P age

20 B. Boolean search AND allows users to search multiple terms and view results that contain all the terms queried Boolean search OR allows users to search multiple terms and view results that contain at least one of the terms queried C. Allows the user to input terms to exclude. Therefore, if these terms appear within a document, it will not be part of the results set. This feature will be used in conjunction with the Boolean Search [B] D. Proximity search allows users to query terms that are within X number of words from each other E. Advanced search trigger button. Single Term and Phrase There are two types of terms: Single Terms and Phrases. A Single Term is a single word, such as ex. "gear" A Phrase is a group of words surrounded by double quotes, such as ex. "landing gear" Multiple terms can be combined together with Boolean operators to form a more complex query (see below). 20 P age

21 Wildcard Searches To perform a single character wildcard search, use the "?" symbol. The single character wildcard search looks for terms that match that with the single character replaced. ex. to search for "text" or "test" you can use the search: te?t To perform a multiple character wildcard search, use the "*" symbol. Multiple character wildcard searches looks for 0 or more characters. ex. to search for "test", "tests" or "tester", you can use the search: test* You can also use the wildcard searches in the middle of a term. ex. "te*t" or "t*t" would find "test" as a result You can use "?", "*" or both at any place of the term: ex. *wr?t* will search for "write", "wrote", "written", "rewrite", "rewrote" and so on. Boolean Operators Boolean operators allow terms to be combined through logic operators. Search supports AND, OR and NOT as Boolean operators (Note: Boolean operators must be ALL CAPS). The OR operator is the default conjunction operator. This means that if there is no Boolean operator between two terms, the OR operator is used. The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. This is equivalent to union using sets. The symbol can be used in place of the word OR. 21 P age

22 Boolean Search: OR To search for documents that contain either "landing gear" or just "landing", use the query: ex. "landing gear" landing or ex. "landing gear" OR landing Boolean Search: AND The AND operator matches documents where both terms exist anywhere in the text of a single document. This is equivalent to an intersection using sets. The symbol & can be used in place of the word AND. To search for documents that contain "landing gear" and "wheels and tires", use the query: ex. "landing gear" AND "wheels and tires" Boolean Search: NOT The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term after NOT. This is equivalent to a difference using sets. The symbol! can be used in place of the word NOT. To search for documents that contain "landing gear" but not "wheels and tires", use the query: ex. "landing gear" AND NOT "wheels and tires" Proximity Search Search supports finding words from a phrase that are within a specified word distance in a string. To do a proximity search, use the tilde "~" symbol at the end of the phrase. For example to search for "air" and "precautions" within 3 words of each other in a document, use the search: ex. "air precautions"~3 22 P age

23 Boost search keyword! Search provides the relevance level of matching documents based on the terms found. To boost the relevance of a term, use the caret "^" symbol with a boost factor (a number) at the end of the term you are searching. The higher the boost factor, the more relevant the term will be. Boosting allows you to control the relevance of a document by boosting individual terms. ex. landing gear ex. landing^5 gear ex. "landing gear"^5 "inspection" 23 P age

Hotspot Section Toolbar Icon Function Description Highlight Hotspots Hotspot List detects all CGM Application Structures (hotspots) within the displayed CGM. As long as the mouse button stays pressed, the viewer keeps highlighting all hotspots. Upon releasing the mouse button, the highlighting will disappear. Upon loading of a CGM image into the viewer, this drop down list will be filled with a list of the identifiers (IDs) of the Application Structures (hotspots) within the image. This drop down control allows the following interactive user operations for identifying a specific hotspot within the image: Highlighting a Specific Hotspot: A click on an ID in the drop down list will highlight the 49 P age

50 corresponding hotspot object with a solid red contour line. Finding a Specific ID: Vice versa, moving the mouse cursor on top of a hotspot object (so that it becomes highlighted) will display the corresponding ID value within the drop down list control. Clear Highlight: When clicking on this separated menu item at the bottom of the list, a permanently highlighted hotspot object will be de highlighted. Permanently highlighted hotspot objects appear as a result of the Highlighting a Specific Hotspot function described above, or when navigating from one CGM image to a target CGM through a hyperlink which includes a highlight target hotspot fragment. Display by ID: When selected, the drop down list is displayed by hotspot ID. This is the default setting. Display by Name: When selected, the drop down list is displayed by hotspot name.
